 Ocie Banks

When I was a student at Back to Basics Music Academy, I studied piano with the late James Robinson who was a Master at voice and piano. Training under him was rigorous, yet rewarding. This foundation was integral to my studies as a Music Education Major when I was at George Mason University. Being a teacher at Back to Basics Music Academy gave me my start in teaching private lessons and has afforded me many professional opportunities. I have grown as a teacher and musician during my tenure at Back to Basics Music Academy.
