    About Dr. Taylor F.

    4.9
    (11)
    I am an accomplished professional singer. I teach all styles of music from classical to music theater to pop. I have a doctoral degree in Vocal Performance and I am an excellent pianist. I work with singers at all levels...from complete beginner thru professional. Although I am a classically trained operatic tenor, I once sang back-up vocals for pop star Billy Joel. Thus, I am extremely versatile!
