    About Zaray R.

    Welcome! I’m glad you’re here and I look forward to joining you in your journey of discovering your musical talents and developing your skills as a musician. I am a trained pianist, professional opera singer, and currently sing with U.S opera companies, symphonies, and arts organizations. My musical journey began with studying classical piano from the age of eight and throughout college. I have performed as a piano soloist, vocal soloist, and also in a rock band where I played contemporary piano and sang lead vocals. After graduating college with a Bachelor of Arts in Music with a focus in piano and voice, I became the director of a conservatory of grades k-12. After a few years, I pursued a masters in vocal performance from the University of Miami. Following the completion of my masters degree, I moved to Boston to perform with the Boston University Opera Institute for 2 years. My career in music has lead me to perform with professional music organizations throughout the United States. I have had the privilege of performing in arenas with over 3 thousand patrons and intimate spaces of just under 100 patrons. I believe that with my experience in performing and my extensive training in music, I am able to give my students the tools necessary to learn a proper technique of their instrument in any repertoire while still enjoying their craft for what it is: a beautiful intangible art form.
