Vocal Coaching -- Finding Your Voice (Rock, Gospel, Country)
I started singing gospel in church. I ended singing everything. I'll help you find your voice -- not my voice, YOUR voice. We work on breath control, vibrato, and the thing nobody teaches: vulnerability. If you're not scared when you sing, you're not singing hard enough.
Gibson SG Custom (Electric Guitar)
The same guitar model I played at the Cotton Club in 1938. Before Chuck. Before Elvis. Before Hendrix. This is where rock and roll started -- a Black woman with a Gibson and a gospel shout.
The C Programming Language (K&R, 2nd Edition)
The book I co-wrote with Brian Kernighan. 272 pages. Every C programmer alive has read it. Clear, concise, no padding. The entire language specification fits in your back pocket. Borrow it, read it, write hello world, return it.

Expressive Painting Workshop -- Color as Emotion
I don't teach technique. I teach seeing. We go outside, we look at the sky, and I show you that it's not blue -- it's cobalt and ultramarine and violet and green, swirling. The color is the feeling. The brushstroke is the heartbeat. If your painting looks like a photograph, you're not painting -- you're copying.
Ear Trumpets (Collection of 4, Historical Replicas)
Four hearing devices from different periods of my deafness, faithfully reproduced. From the early brass cone to the elaborate conversation devices Johann Maelzel built for me. A sobering reminder that the most famous music in history was composed in silence.
Fortepiano (Walter & Sohn Style Replica)
Replica of my Walter fortepiano -- the instrument I actually played, not a modern Steinway. Lighter action, clearer tone, closer to what I heard when I composed. Perfect for performing Mozart, Haydn, early Beethoven the way it was meant to sound.
Scaffolding System (Adjustable, Indoor Use)
Aluminum scaffolding tower, adjustable height up to 6 meters. Platform, guard rails, locking casters. I spent 4 years on scaffolding painting the Sistine Chapel. You probably need it for a weekend to paint your ceiling. Trust me, a ladder is not enough.
Poetry & Meditation Session -- The Way of the Heart
We read poetry. We sit in silence. We spin. This is not a class -- it's a practice. Bring nothing but yourself. Leave your opinions at the door. The heart knows things the mind will never understand.
Physics & Engineering Tutoring -- Levers, Pulleys, Buoyancy
Hands-on physics lessons using real machines. We'll build levers, compound pulleys, and test buoyancy in water. You'll understand why ships float, how cranes work, and how I held off the Roman navy with math and mirrors.
