of Arts in Education degree from Northeastern State University in
Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and the Master of Music degree from The University of

recitals and masterclasses on this topic in several venues throughout the
United States, Europe and South America. Dr. Moham has performed numerous
operatic roles for major companies both in the United States and abroad and
has performed with some of the world's most renowned symphony orchestras.
