Jameelah Taylor
Conductor

Jameelah Taylor is a singer, choral conductor and music educator. She is currently a Doctoral Fellow in Music and Music Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, having received her Master of Arts in Music and Music Education from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Vocal Performance from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. 

Her love of choral music and singing began when she was in 6th grade when her chorus teacher told her that she had a beautiful voice. She instantly felt a sense of confidence and belonging and now she seeks to create a similar feeling for the young singers she works with. Jameelah is the Music Department Chair and Choral Director at the Trevor Day School in Manhattan. She began her teaching career in Brooklyn 10 years ago and is excited to be back in the community working with the singers of Brooklyn Youth Chorus.
