About
Leah, Berklee College of music graduate and 2018 Jazz Act of the Year nominee for the New England Music Awards has been performing along the East Coast, teaching music, writing music and has collaborated with artists such as Valerie Simpson, Peter Collins, Kennedy Administration, Tom Browne, Yoron Israel, Binky Griptite and J.C. Hopkins and his Biggish Band. She sings Jazz, Soul, R&B, Rock&Roll and more. She has been teaching private vocal lessons for almost 10 years. She is Lessonface's 2022 Teacher of the Year for Berklee Audition Prep. She also teaches beginner piano, songwriting, music theory, audition prep, and performance skills. She has done this in a formal school setting as well as an informal setting. Performing, teaching and writing are her most enjoyable things to do.
Originating from Henderson, North Carolina, she grew up singing in school, church and choirs including the Raleigh Girls Choir of Raleigh, NC. Taking singing and piano lessons grew her love for music. She always had a fondness of jazz music starting at a young age, as her father would play jazz music on the radio. Studying music has led her to perform in recitals, concerts and festivals such as the Mozart Music Festival with The Capital City Girl’s Choir in Vienna, Austria, to study and perform abroad in Valencia, Spain, to graduate from Berklee College of Music and to continue performing, teaching, writing and growing as an artist.
My goal as a teacher is to learn each student to be able to give quality information and tools to grow in their art. Proper breathing, projection, confidence and knowledge of music and the voice are the main struggles I see for students. There are many ways to explore music and to explore your own art. There are many ways to grow and stretch as an artist. I will take the time to explore the best way to do that with each student.

I enjoyed what I heard. Had trouble getting on because for some reason the email wouldn't configure right on my HP Computer with Windows 10 S Kept blowing up way too big and not allowing me to access join button Had to get on to another computer so missed about half of the class. I found Leah to be an excellent teacher and very pleasant to interact with, BLESSINGS, STORM
