What to expect in my Orchestral Lessons
DC Youth Chorale was a special organization I was lucky to have participated in. Young talented children devoted and enthusiastic to interact in harmony. Excellent musical director and accompanist of world-class performance standards. The vibrant Age of 11 was assigned a Viola from the High School Orchestra room. Out of curiosity the Beethoven Symphony No. 7, 2nd movement, which featured the VIOLAS was the inspiration that took over my being.
What to expect in my Vocal Lessons
As a singer first and a Viola in my hand instrument. Viola controls inner harmonies and rhythms for the string family. My perspective is unique as I approach as hear and teach the fundamentals. With this approach you will come to discover and enjoy the journey as you progress to make beautiful music.DC Youth Chorale was a special organization I was lucky to have participated in.

You will discover how to communicate and express oneself within the structure regardless the instrument or voice. Vocalist must find the sound and complete dimensions of their voice as an instrument. How to develop the syntax of for expression through speech, concepts and stories. This concept of thought is a shared element for every instrument, yet, the physical technique is the challenge

Violin · In studio Mr. Ray J is a great teacher with patience. My 13yrs old boy is an international student who doesn’t speak English very well and only had chance to have 6 hours class during our trip to US. But my boy likes Mr. Ray’s class very much, we hope to come back to DC and learn from Ray again. Shan D wrote on Mon, 30 Nov -0001
