    Hi there!! Quick little bio about me: I trained as a classical/opera singer at CSU San Bernardino also participating in Opera Theatre, Choir, Jazz, and various other classes since 2014 til 2017. I have also completed my Teaching Credential from CSU East Bay & very excited to continue educating young musicians as well as adults! Recently, I taught at a middle school teaching choir, show choir, ,rock band, and vocal lessons. In addition, I have worked as the vocal director for San Bernardino's Teen Music Workshop, a non-profit performing program for grades 6-12. Currently, I am teaching music to elementary students and also teaching at Avakas Music Conservatory, giving vocal and piano lessons from ages 6 to adult. Love seeing students grow into wonderful musicians and expanding their love for music into different genres! Feel free to message if you may have any further questions(:

    Desihre is an amazing vocal and piano instructor. I started off taking piano classes and felt so comfortable that I began taking vocal lesson as well. She is such a patient teacher and always made me feel heard as a creative. We began our lessons in person, but we transitioned to online classes. I was nervous about working from home and what the class experience would be. Desihre’s was so friendly I immediately felt at ease. I have learned so much working with Desihre and I am excited to keep learning! + Timely + Knowledgeable + Caring + Motivational + Patient + Helpful + Compassionate + Versatile

    I’ve had difficulty with being able to interpret music through my performance and Miss Des has helped me achieve that through lessons. She has helped me improve in singing and grow as a singer and performer

    Desihre was amazing! She really helped me find my voice with being able to hear notes and be in tune while singing with a piano.
