Hello, my name is Angelica Bryan. I am 25 years old and I am currently a student at the University of Central Florida. I am working towards my bachelor’s degree and majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies, with my two areas of study being Arts and Behavioral and Social Sciences and my minor being Education. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and have lived in Florida for 8 years. My hobbies include drawing, writing, dancing, hanging out with my friends, going to church, bowling, skating, shopping, and most of all, singing! My goal is to become a teacher, working in music education and therapy with young children, and to hopefully get into the music industry as a singer/songwriter, writing my own music. In music education and therapy, I hope to reach out to children as well and help them learn music while also making it fun for them. I enjoy taking voice lessons at the Orlando School of Music because it helps me work on my voice skills, learn music theory, gain self-confidence and bring out my true singing talent. From a young age, I have always had the desire to express myself and come out of my shell through music and singing, however I was too shy to do so. Now that I am older and gaining more confidence, I am certain that this is the right path for me. When I was younger, I have participated in talent shows and concerts held at my schools and always did well in them.

During two cruise vacations with my family in the last two years, I have participated in live karaoke events where I performed in front of an audience with an actual live band. Like a musician and singer should be, I am very talented, creative, determined, enthusiastic and I love working with other people. I also try my best to be positive, always look on the bright side of things and never give up on my goals and dreams. Although I tend to be shy, music is a great way for me to express myself and my emotions in a way that words cannot express enough. I have always known from my heart that I have been blessed with the gift of singing. Music has made such a positive influence in my life and it encourages me to inspire people the same way I have been inspired by my favorite artists. Under the lessons and guidance from my voice instructor, Ms. Natalia Valdes-Molina, she taught me how to improve my vocals and to have confidence in myself at my first recital with the Orlando School of Music.

Brett started playing guitar at the age of 10 after being inspired
by 80’s metal music . After high school he attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston. There he studied classical and contemporary theory. He also grew interested in recording and obtained his degree in recording arts from Full Sail College. Brett’s vast background and love of music has made him an excellent instructor! He has been teaching guitar and bass since the age of 15. He is a walking encyclopedia of chords!
In addition to teaching, he enjoys playing live, writing, producing and recording music . His independent record label is called Beeleepro. His first album is titled “I Before E” and he is currently working on his first instruction book. His advice to all his students is to make time for practicing! Brett still devotes 4 hours a day solely to practicing.

Ingredient info:
Arepa flour is precooked corn flour, not to be confused with masa harina. Sometimes sold as "Harina Pan" or harina precocida, it can be found in Latin markets like Bravo's or Sedano's and some supermarkets like Publix and Walmart.
If you have any questions, Victoria cooks Arepas almost daily :)

Venezuelan Recipe For Arepas
|
RECIPE PREPARATION
- In a medium bowl add 2½ cups warm water, gradually incorporate dry ingredients (Arepa flour and salt), stirring constantly with your hands until no dry lumps remain and the dough is soft and even. Let rest 5 minutes to hydrate and get to the right consistency.
- Knead dough a few times in bowl, then divide into 8 pieces. Roll each piece on work surface into a ball, then gently flatten to about ½” thick.
- Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 4 arepas, and cook until golden brown, 6–8 minutes. Uncover, flip, and cook (keep uncovered) until other side is golden brown, 6–8 minutes. Transfer arepas to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and dough.
- Split arepas and stuff with desired fillings.
- ENJOY!!!!
