About Shareka B. Download Resume

I am a native of Prince Georges County Maryland, but recently just moved to the district. I'm a new mommy of an 11 month old daughter Zola, who is my pride and Joy. Gratefully I have been musically inclined for 20+ years playing the piano and clarinet. In 2015 I graduated from THE Virginia State University with a BA in Music with a concentration of Clarinet. I have been enthused teaching piano for 3 years.

Why I Work Well with Kids

I believe that early music lessons have longtime benefits. Kids are full of creativity and imagination. I love to challenge them and to simply have fun. Kids are sponges and are ready to soak up everything! Kids also challenge me to step my game up and to be "Hip" to the latest trends. I believe my fashion, visuals and energy attract all kids. They always want to know what and why, and I can't wait to tell them!
