Xara S.

I Xara started singing as a baby, perfectly in tune, according to my parents, before I even knew how to talk! Singing and music has been my deepest passion my entire life, and I am now working to produce my first couple albums in my most treasured genres. As a child from age 5-13 I took piano lessons and can still play although it's not my specialty anymore. I chose to go to LaGuardia High School of Music and Art for my love of singing and music, and there I was trained classically in opera, choral singing, music theory and music history, as well as many other special music classes and electives. Over the years, I've gained a particular love of folk music and love to sing traditional music in different languages and traditions. I've also continued relationships with friends from my highschool and worked on our my own arrangements of folk songs and classical pieces in my own style, as well as meeting different types of professional musicians wherever I go and playing pieces together. I've performed at open mics and small concerts, and learned to teach and perform music more casually by working last year at Kids Orbit as a music teacher for young children where I taught them some of my favorite melodies and we even composed our own original songs! I've also taught songwriting and composition to children and adults with my Georgian folk singing trio, and can competently lead a small group or teach individually with lots of patience. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, I can help you expand and enhance your playing, and I am excited to learn how I can help you reach your musical goals.
