I have been teaching voice for 24 yrs & i am visiting Houston for few months. I am a Rice Graduate in Vocal Performance (Class of ‘92) and i am applying in my teaching the basic Classical voice techni

Ghada is an excellent voice teacher of classical and Arabic music. We work on vocal exercises to improve technique. She is very helpful and precise about singing microtones. We work on several songs, and she helps with putting the techniques into practice and with expressing the words and feelings of the songs.

Ghada is a patient, kind, humorous voice teacher who challenges me as much as she encourages me. She explains concepts in multiple different ways to make sure you understand it in a way that makes sense to you. Her vocal technique is extraordinary and you learn a lot just by listening and emulating her tonal clarity. The exercises she creates allow you to find & shape your unique voice and develop muscle memory, which has been especially helpful in creating muscle memory pathways for microtones! She is phenomenal and I would recommend her for a singer at any experience level.

Not only is she deeply versed in both Western Classical and Arabic Classical music, she shows deep wisdom in how she draws the best sound both from her students and in her own music making. That is possible precisely because she is such a loving and caring human being. My daughter loves studying with her!

Ghada was my choir and ensemble instructor at a summer music workshop in Massachusetts. She provided private vocal lessons and directed a large choir of varying levels in preparation for a concert. Ghada provided excellent vocal and instrumental exercises in order to perform choir repertoire in multiple languages with high detail to diction and musical phrasing. I was so impressed by her technical prowess and cordial rapport with her students. I highly recommend working with Ghada!

Ghada is a superb voice teacher. She is patient, kind, and generous with her knowledge. She’s helped me grow as a singer, teacher, and in my recent studies as an Arab musician. I highly recommend studying with Ghada!

Ghada is a knowledgeable and caring teacher who has helped me connect to my Lebanese roots by teaching me Arabic singing. She has been patient in helping me access quarter tones and has offered many specific tools and vocalises to build my maqam fluency. Her voice is gorgeous and offers even more vocal instruction in her examples! This way I get aural and cognitive information to inform my singing. Thank you, Ghada!!!

I am a composer and vocalist: I have studied music formally since childhood and have a Ph.D. in Music including conservatory training and study on multiple instruments including voice with opera professionals: Ghada is the best instrumental instructor of any kind I have had the pleasure of working with. Her musicianship is exceptional and she is able to create extremely effective, bespoke exercises on the spot to address specific challenges. Her approach is student-led, supportive and attentive of the specific needs of the student. She has an incredible somatic intuition and ability to imaginatively help the student connect to their body to support vocal performance. I have been studying maqam vocal technique with her to support soloing with both a 20-30 person ensemble and as lead singer of a 6-person band playing maqam music. My colleagues and I have already noticed significant strides in my voice in the two months I have been working with her. She is an exceptional vocalist and teacher: she has an incredible gift for musical instruction and is also a wonderful person. I recommend her highly and warmly!
