She started singing in a Christian church, worship team, and church/high school choir. She sang and performed in Voice and Opera/Music Theatre Program and SonoVoce, Concert Choir, and Symphonic Chorus at SSU.

When it's difficult for us to express how we feel through conversations, Nunu believes that music is one of the best ways to help us express our feelings. She believes music brings people together no matter their different backgrounds. When music is played and heard, no matter the genre, the forming of each chord to create the melodies, harmonies, and beats to complete a song is beautiful for the composer as well as the listener. Behind every chord, there's always a story to be told and heard. Nunu is looking forward to sharing her experience and connection to music with vocal students, and younger musicians in the Little Wing and Rookies programs, at School of Rock Las Vegas West and School of Rock Green Valley.

Reviews

I am so thankful for School of Rock!

Our son has been taking guitar here for the past three years. The team at School of Rock is fabulous. My son loves learning from them and loves performing in the shows. If my son had more hours in the day, he'd probably want to go to School of Rock on a daily basis.

It's a REAL rock show!

My 10-year-old daughter has been playing electric guitar here since she was eight and she's developed so much confidence. The shows they do are amazingly well-produced. This isn't like going to watch a bunch of kids playing recorders in a school gym.

What more could you want for an 11-year-old?!

My daughter sings at School of Rock and she feels confident, safe and empowered. It's a great way to socialize kids away from their normal social circles. I'm so happy to have a place for my daughter where the peer pressure is positive and constructive.

I wish this place was around when I was learning to play!

Like a lot of kids, it was a bit of a challenge to find an activity that put a fire in my son's belly. We signed up for a trial lesson at School of Rock and the rest is history! I would recommend School of Rock to anyone whose child shows any interest at all in playing music.
