From the first moment she saw information about the Green Hedges Music Teacher position,Jennifer Lowery felt as if the job had been designed for her. “I showed it to my husband, Greg, and he couldn’t believe it, either. This is my dream job. It is a position that will let me bring together my talents and interests as part of a seamless whole,” she says.
Mrs. Lowery grew up singing and playing the piano in Naples, Florida. “I can’t remember a time that I wasn’t involved with music,” she says. During high school she attended the world famous Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan and received her Bachelor’s Degree from Lawrence University’s Conservatory of Music in Appleton, Wisconsin, a program that entailed studying music in Vienna, Austria during her Junior year.
Mrs. Lowery moved to the Washington Metropolitan region to attend the University of Maryland Opera Studio Master’s program. After completing her work with the Opera Studio, Mrs. Lowery took a position teaching music and later full-day preschool at the Appletree School in Fairfax. She worked there for five years, and delighted in supporting the social and emotional development of young children. Her new position, at Green Hedges, will permit her to continue having contact with young students, and will allow her to bring a greater complexity of her music and performance coaching skills to the older students. “When I walked onto the campus of Green Hedges, it reminded me of the magic I felt at Interlochen,” she says, “and I am thrilled to be part of that.”
