Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I specialize in artist development and train students who want to progress to a professional level, total package performer (piano, vocals, music theory, songwriting, composing, music business, audition prep, performance). My background in psychology helps my students identify and conquer challenges. With over 20 years of experience as a pianist, singer, and songwriter, performing with artists including Anita Baker, Diana Ross, and Ne-Yo has given me the tools needed to help you reach your potential. I've learned from the best and know how to bring out the best in my students. I offer online services through Skype and other platforms to those who would love to train in NYC but live in other places around the world. In the comforts of their own home, they have the same training as if we were face to face. This creates a more relaxed environment and they able learn at their own pace which is absolutely necessary to obtain effective results. What I like most about my job is working with people from all walks of life/ages and watching them grow into a true artist. I love watching my students develop a love for learning while having fun with it. Seeing the growth and the end results is like watching a flower bloom.

Nikiya is a unique talent and a true professional. I came to her timidly because of my desire to improve my singing technique. Previously, I had never allowed anyone to hear me sing before. I was too embarrassed. I didn't think I was any good. And I would never have asked for help. But one day I ran into Nikiya and learned of her profession. I also learned of her impressive academic background in the arts. When I told her of my secret ambitions she made me feel so comfortable that I actually sang in front of her! One of the many special things about Nikiya is that she has such mild and genuine spirit. When I felt most vulnerable, she accepted my artistic offering and thanked me for sharing it with her. In that one moment I felt absolutely wonderful. I felt like she understood me... understood my intentions. I felt certain that she had knowledge of which steps I needed to take in order to polish my voice so that if I decide to share my voice with those not as skillfully trained as she, they too would be able to appreciate it. I began taking lessons with her and my assumptions were confirmed. She is an amazing coach. Our lessons started and ended in a timely manner. She took great care in getting to know me and which sounds inspire me. The techniques she taught me were simple yet excitingly effective. Each lesson was curtailed towards refining my personal strengths while fortifying my weaknesses. I noticed significant changes in myself after each visit.... not just with my voice... my self-esteem as well. Each time I was learning something new I was scared to really try and reveal myself to her. But she gave me confidence through her sincere commendations and a sweet disposition. She carved out of me a sound that has been trapped inside all of this time... A voice that I can be proud of... An instrument that I can now use to express my feelings and share of myself with others. I now volunteer with children. I use my voice to lift their spirits. When they ask for me and beg for me to come back soon, I know that it is Nikiya's lessons that made my rewarding volunteer work possible. Thank you again Nikiya! I will try to pass on to others the lessons that you have so graciously passed on to me:)

Nikiya is a fantastic teacher! She has an amazing singing voice, and she is outstandingly amazing at piano. She is so kind, always on time for lessons, and always has a smile when she walks in. She is the best teacher I have ever had:-)

Nikyia it's truly been great with the years you have been helping me advance in playing piano. I'm so glad that I had you as a teacher from starting at the age of nine. Thanks so much for the wonderful experience. I couldn't have asked for more.
