Teaching Locations:

Education: I graduated from UC Riverside with a BA in music and an emphasis in vocal performance. I trained classically under William Hanrahan at UC Riverside. I completed my teaching certificate with the UK based BAST program where I learned more about vocal acoustics and anatomy. I’m also currently studying contemporary voice with John Henny. I believe that as long as I continue to learn I will always be an asset to my students.
Teaching: All of my students are wonderfully unique and I tailor every lesson to each student's style and needs! Students can expect to increase vocal size and power, gain confidence as singers, learn powerful breathing techniques, and much more! I started teaching from home then branched out to music schools, and now I enjoy teaching on Zoom, Skype and other online platforms. I love that I can teach students anywhere in the world and I look forward to meeting you!

good vibes!

Jamila's a good listener and could help anyone from a novice, like,myself, to someone whom is more classically trained.

Highly recommended! Jamila offers guidance that translates well for someone like me who does not play any instruments and does not have any experience distinguishing notes. I learn something new each time I attend a lesson. Though I have been singing at karaoke bars for years, in the car, and at home, I am now gaining a better understanding of how to sing in a more consistent way and work with melodies to bring out the best in my voice. Jamila has given me a lot more confidence in my vocal abilities. My goal is to branch out from karaoke in bars and be able to sign up for an open mic night with live instrument accompaniment instead of using karaoke vocal guidance.

Jamila was gentle at turns, and assertive as that need arose. I’m both uplifted, and informed. There are things I’ve learned I didn’t know I needed, or even did not know could be known. It is these subtle passages per lesson that have aided my growth immeasurably. Thanks, Jamila!

My voice has greatly improved. I am acquiring an operatic voice. I can sing higher.
She is a gifted teacher.
