Voice

Peg has a deep love and appreciation for music that began as a young child with parents that loved music and engaged her in piano lessons at age seven.  She was involved in choirs, productions and plays starting from kindergarten.  Peg went on to study opera and voice after high school then returned to college full-time in 2016 to gain more music knowledge, work on theory, scales, and voice and complete her B.A. in Music.  Peg has led worship by piano for over 20 years and leads special services while singing and playing piano.  Her love and joy of music is infectious and she would be thrilled to help anyone learn and excel, develop their ear, and gain skills. When Peg is not working she loves to work-out, travel, and spend time with friends and family.
