    About Jessica R.

    Hi! My name is Jessica If you're looking for an enthusiastic teacher who loves her students (and may be a little bit nerdy), look no further! I teach voice, piano, ukulele, and steel drums. Pasta, my dogs, and the color green are all the greatest things in life. Music is a personal journey, and is unique for each person. I love to help people discover and grow their own passion. There is nothing more rewarding than being a part of watching someone develop into an artist who then goes on to influence others on their own journey. Whatever it is you need, whatever you are here for, your passion is what will push you and lead you, and I am just here to help you with whatever direction you choose. I have a solid background in live performance, professional gigging, music writing, singing, music theory, and of course in your instrument of choice. So whatever you'd like to work on I can help. Can't wait to meet you! :) -Jess

    Jessica is an amazing teacher! A few months ago I was having trouble learning the ukulele and I decided to start lessons with her. It was a great decision because ever since then I have learned way more than I could on YouTube! She is everything you want in a teacher, so helpful, supportive, fun, easy going, and kind. She has brought me so much further as a player and now I can write songs, have learned 15 of my favorite songs, am learning how to combine my instrument with others on my computer, and understand music so much more than ever. Thank you Jessica:)

    Experience

    Wedding Player

    Sep, 2016 - Present

    Expert Productions

    Last year the company Expert Productions hired me to begin playing their wedding ceremonies on the Steel Pan. I am often paired with a DJ and am responsible for the ceremony music. Afterwards I play for a medium sized crowd for an hour while they all wait for the bride.

    Steel Drum Duo

    Jun, 2009 - Present

    The Panomaniacs

    Brian and I play out at the Bon Aire on Sunday from 2-4. On St. Pete beach, this hotel has been around for a long time and we love playing looking out over the water. We play a variety of music, and all of my students are welcome to come out and show off their skills or just hang out.

    Vocalist

    Sep, 2006 - Jun, 2010

    PCCA

    At PCCA we learned how to sing professionally. Italian Arias, German song cycles, large choral works, and musical theater pieces are just some of the music I learned here. At our Senior Recital each student was able to perform 8 professional vocal works in 4 different languages. In addition, we studied upper level music theory, how to direct, and even how to record our original music at the Gibbs campus in Saint Pete.
