A Songbird's Symphony
Russ Hogg Creative Expressions Grant has supported me to create this website and publish an online book called, A Songbird’s Symphony, Volume 1, which would serve to be a guide for a creative solution for young students to access a resource that would teach some of the fundamentals of music along with vocal exercises, techniques, and repertoire selection. Through this website and the online book, I hope to also share some of the resources for the aspiring young vocalists for auditioning tips, selecting repertoire and communities they can refer for further support.

Project Basis
The basis for the online book, A Songbird’s Symphony, was created, tested and used in After School Music Programs, community programs and summer programs with students ages between 6-20 years. Working with a diverse group of students has enabled me to develop and curate a tailored program for different student population.

Project Present
The curriculum was used in-person, virtually, one-on-one, and in group classes to enable different learning styles of the student population within each location. I am thankful to the communities who have provided these platforms ( Abbott House TR Center, Songatchers, Dawn Treader Christian School).

Project Future
Future sites include Community Centers, overseas school sites in Dominican Republic (summer of 2025), after school programs in NY and NJ
