About the store
I started formal piano lessons at the age of 7, and in high school concurrently studied piano with Dr. Paul Hanson (University of Richmond) and organ with Dr. Ardyth Lohuis (Virginia Commonwealth University). While at Bridgewater College, I studied organ under Dr. John Barr and Dr. Larry Taylor as well as choral conducting and voice under Dr. Jesse Hopkins. I was the Handbell Director for two years at Bridgewater College and also served as the Assistant Director of Music at Bridgewater Church of the Brethren. I then studied choral conducting under Dr. Donald Trott and voice under Dr. Brad Robinson at Ole Miss. I served as the director of the University of Mississippi Women’s Ensemble, and served as accompanist to the Ole Miss Women’s Glee at the South-Eastern Regional American Choral Directors Association Convention. I currently serve on the District VI Committee for the Virginia Choral Directors Association and have served as an adjudicator for district performance assessment events in both Virginia and Mississippi. I have also enjoyed the privilege of being guest conductor for festival choirs (so much fun!). I have now been directing middle and high school choir programs for the last 17 years.
