When I create, I do it with the intention of making an impact! 

Hello my name is Tina Ford. I am a recording singer, songwriter, and performer. I have a B.A Major in Human Rights and minor in African studies. 
I am here to teach singing, tell stories and  share the knowledge, incredible tools and tricks I have learned over the years to young students.

I have been singing, composing and writing songs professionally for over 10 years now. I have had the opportunity to travel around the world as a singer and have had the honour of singing at highly attended concerts and major festivals. To name just a few, I have performed both as a soloist and backup vocalist at the Toronto jazz festival, Blankets and Wine Uganda and lu d'afrique festival Montreal. I have also written, recorded and released 2 studio EP projects currently on music platforms. 
 I have taught vocal lessons for over 6 years to aspiring singers  and I take great pride in knowing that some of my students that were once really shy and had little experience in singing are now performing at school and party events, auditioning for musical competitions and really taking the world by storm!

My passion for music started with the folk tales and fables  that were told to me when I was young. My most cherished childhood memories are of me sitting around a fire with my cousins and being told stories that always seemed to carry profound messages I took with me. 

 My  passion for story telling started at a very tender age and over time, I learned the art and technique of how to tell and create a story. I have used this skill  to incorporate it into my songs.
 For 3 Summer camp programs now, I have shared many of these fables and stories to elementary and middle school children at our local community. I keep story narration engaging by use of props, dance, songs, character sounds and also discussion of lessons learned at the end of class. 

My teaching style is versatile so no experience needed to join my classes.
