    Welcome to the world of quality music. My name is Darshell, and I’m a certified Music Educator in the Northern and Central New Jersey areas.   I’ve dedicated myself to providing a well-rounded music education to young people everywhere.  I graduated from Lycoming College with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Piano Performance and received a Master of Arts Degree in Musicology from Rutgers University.  My music program consists of keyboard, vocal, recorder and drum instruction as well as lessons in music history, theory, composition and performance.  The information taught in these classes is based on the curriculum I've written and published entitled, The Quality Music Instruction Series. If you are interested in a music program that serves as a solid foundation for a formal music education and diverse music experience, please feel free to enroll.

    Darshell instructed my son in piano when he was 8 and at 10 he was performing in a recital at a fundraiser. Today he is 20, and he played at the jazz festival in New Orleans, and he is part of the church youth choir. What I think Darshell does well is she not only teach how play the piano, but she shows them life skills of the importance of independence in studying and performing music as well as instilling self-confidence.

    As one of seven culturally distinct websites in The Professional Diversity Network provides a professional network for diverse talent that is far more engaging and welcoming than a typical job board.
