Colleen - Piano
Born and raised in southern Mississippi, I began playing for vacation bible school before I was out of vacation bible school, and I was honored to become the organist for my home church Pine Grove Baptist Church in 6th grade. I grew up having the fantastic opportunity to study with professors such as Dr. Theresa Sanchez (Professor, Jones County Junior College, MS) and Dr. Gerald Aultman (Professor, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary).
My mama and daddy sacrificed their money and time to take me to weekly lessons, ensure I practiced as instructed, and drive me to competitions. As an adult, I have served as a pianist and/or organist for many church congregations and am at ease on the piano or organ bench. Knowing there are many pianists/organists in the area for a church to call, I am excited when asked to fill in at the keyboard.
