About Risha
Risha has always believed that the perfect adventure, one to shape her life, lies in the convergence of two powerful forces: music and children. She envisions a space where music serves as a catalyst to inspire children of all ages, fostering their growth and creativity.
At the age of 13, Risha realized that music was not only a gift but also her passion and purpose for the future. She has spent nearly a decade predominantly self-teaching herself piano, playing by ear and supplemented by a few private lessons. Additionally, as a voice instructor, she tailors her teaching methods to suit each student’s unique needs, drawing upon auditory, visual, kinesthetic, and critical thinking approaches. Her piano instruction begins with laying a strong foundation in music theory, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the art form.
Currently pursuing her studies online at Berklee College of Music, majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies of Music, Risha anticipates earning her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Spring 2024. Alongside her academic pursuits, she has served as the youth choir director at her church for five years. As a Singer-Songwriter, Risha’s music reflects a blend of various genres, and she is currently in the process of recording original compositions. She also engages in music production, crafting her own music as well as collaborating with local artists.
Risha firmly believes in music’s ability to serve as a universal language, aiding individuals, especially children, in survival, healing, belief, learning, and growth. As the director of a childcare center, she introduces Musical Mondays, witnessing the transformative effect of music on young minds. With a strong commitment, Risha aims to empower children not only with musical education but also with essential life skills.
Through her practice, she integrates life success skills into piano and voice lessons, nurturing the imagination and competence of young musicians. Her goal is to cultivate a deep understanding of music within children, encouraging them to envision music in their minds and spirits before sharing it with the world. Utilizing music as a platform, Risha instills positive values such as time management, adaptability, concentration, commitment, and transformation.”
