Please COMMENT BELOW with a WARM welcome to our NEW piano instructor…

MRS. TERESA BEAVERS 👏🏽🎉🥳👏🏽

(PIANO 🎹)

A native of Livingston County, Teresa is a familiar face to many, as she currently serves as a pianist in Marion Baptist Chruch’s music ministry, and practiced locally for 15 years as a Registered Nurse in convalescent care, home health, and case management.
Mrs. Beavers studied piano for 10 years under the tutelage of Mrs. Pauline Stringer, and has 2 years of teaching experience with her own studio. For 27 YEARS she has served as a pianist/keyboardist in the music ministries of various churches, and on two separate occasions was the pianist for Marion’s beloved, recently-revived holiday tradition: The Living Christmas Tree.
We couldn’t be happier to have her on our team, as we lead the charge in Western Kentucky’s arts revolution!
