Lessons with Angela
01
Singing Lessons
Learn to sing soul and R&B with feeling and control. Lessons work on your tone, runs and phrasing, and on finding a sound that's yours instead of copying someone else's.
02
Artist Coaching
I put out records as an independent artist, I can help students navigate the following: the process of finding their style, connecting with other artists, finding a producer and a band, how to organize a show,etc. When I started as an independent artist this process was so difficult and I wouldn't have been able to navigate without my own mentors. There was so much misinformation that created much more stress rather than support. I personally have found the most success in my music by connecting energetically to my art. It has guided me to the place I am in now. I can help students who need this guidance and help them weed out all the information out there often used to exploit independent artists. I can help them focus on the joy and energy in music rather than the 'hustle' to help them build their music career with fun, presence and confidence.
03
Songwriting & Arrangement
Angela writes and releases her own music. She'll help you turn your ideas into finished songs and arrange them, so you know what each part of the song is doing before you take it to a producer or a band.
Watch Angela
Angela Nashed wants to tell you a story through music that you haven’t heard before. Her sound, a blend of soul, funk, blues, and R&B carries you through her universe of love, pain, beauty, and poetry. As a daughter of Egyptian immigrants and a child of the 90s, Angela's musical influences were eclectic at an early age and these worldly influences attribute to her a fresh style. Sensual, aching vocals that move across emotional and mental states, at times moving you to dance and at other times moving you to tears. With surprising turns yet familiar haunts, Angela ignites the full-bodied atmosphere and authentic textures of Soul/RnB. Her new album, “Unintentional” is now out everywhere. Listen now!

Alex Nicol
Jordanne was exceptional - I can't recommend her work enough to anyone seeking to improve their vocal technique and/or strength. She takes a full-body approach to singing, based on her training in Alexander Technique, which in my case meant connecting my posture to tension across my whole body. With Jordanne's guidance I was able to go from singing with tension and strain to singing with fluidity and support, all within a very short period of time. The newfound confidence I have in my voice is life-changing!

Robert is the best voice teacher I've ever had. In addition to having an amazing voice and range (helpful when I need to hear the notes back) he's incredibly supportive and fun to work with. I've improved my voice drastically and he really helped me through learning to belt and riff! Thank you Robert!!
Rebecca
I absolutely LOVE Ocean. I started singing last May and I was super nervous about it. Singing is extremely personal and vulnerable, and for me it’s been so hard to feel comfortable enough to go to lessons because of how insecure I am about my voice. Once I summoned the courage to finally take lessons, I have to say that Ocean really went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and safe.
Laurena Mayifuila Mayowele
Jordanne is great teacher! For the first time I contact her, I am very pleased. She took the time to truly understand what I needed. And, the first time I met her she made me feel so comfortable that I felt at ease to express myself. She made me do some exercise to see what my blocage was. Then gave me a routine, which is exactly what I needed. It have been only 3 courses but I can experience the change and improvement. And not only in singing and piano. I wasn’t aware of all the tension I use to have in my body. Now that I am conscious of that, I am able to relax my body and feel a deep connection.
Samantha Timmons
I did my first lesson with Jordie last week. She is very patient and has a lot of knowledge on vocal training. She made me see things from a different light in just one session! Her knowledge is impeccable. I’m looking forward to working on my voice with her! I already feel improvement in just a week. Truly recommend her.
