    About Chantilly W.

    I’m Chantilly… Hello and welcome! I have been a teacher for 7 years, specializing in one-on-one lessons, loving the thrill of helping students grow to their fullest potential. My philosophy is all about zeroing in on your personal strengths and building up new skills around them. Studying with me will help your technique, boost your confidence, and will be the foundation of a prosperous creative future. It’s my personal goal to make sure you have a great experience! +++ I have a formal musical education, with a degree in composition from Purchase College, (Regina Spektor also graduated from this program!), 6 years of experience as a solo performer, and worked extensively in recent years on writing songs, and releasing recordings (my producer plays keys for Ingrid Michaelson! ) My most recent highlights include placing my songs in an independent film, as well as the show Dance Moms on Lifetime TV. See videos below. +++ I realize that there are a lot of options out there, and am honored to be considered! Please contact me with any questions :) *** Studio Equipment *** - Extra guitar available. - For voice, I record our lessons, and send you Mp3's after each lesson as a practice tool. *** Travel Equipment *** - I bring my guitar, and expect students to have their own. - For singing, it would be best if students had a program like Garage Band to record, and practice to the lessons.
