FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My typical process for working with a customer is building rapport and making them comfortable. By doing so, I can adequately find out how I can meet their needs. I then evaluate what level they are on and make a personalized outline for their lessons.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Ms. Devon Wilson attended Texas State University- San Marcos (SWT) and majored in musical theater performance. Since the age of 3, Devon has always possessed a raw desire for music and performing arts. Her first professional role was in "The Colored Museum" at the Carver Cultural Center. It was a 2 week run and Devon was in the 4th grade. Her passion flourished in church as a soloist in the Mt. Sinai Baptist Church Youth Choir and charter member of the San Antonio Youth Ensemble under the direction of Jerome Roberson. She is a professionally trained actress, dancer/choreographer, singer, writer and poet. As a freshman at Texas State, Devon landed a lead role as Dionne in the rock musical Hair, which was an amazing feat. Her performance lead to other roles in shows such as Chicago and La Vie Boheme. As part of the Ethnic Theatre Workshop at Texas State, Devon was cast in the lead role Savoy for the reading of Somebody Called, a shocking piece based on the Southern Black Baptist church, by alumnus Eugene Lee (Oprah's Women of Brewster Place). One of her favorite roles was portraying the lead, Lady in Red in For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf by Ntozake Shange. It was later brought to the big screen by Tyler Perry. In San Antonio, Devon has become a staple in local theatre. In 2006, she debuted at the San Pedro Playhouse in Dreamgirls and continued working with the playhouse in The Full Monty and A Christmas Carol. 2006 was also the year Devon founded her band, DevSoul, in an effort to expose her city to the soul, neo-soul, and r&b music they were craving. Thus, 8 years later, DevSoul is still one if the most sought after live bands in San Antonio. Devon is also a well known National Anthem singer, having sang for the SA Talons, SA Heartwalk, and much more. She has opened and worked with a variety artists. She currently teaches private performing arts lessons in the San Antonio area. She hopes to open a performing arts school and full service studio in SA in the future.
