Wendy Reynolds

"Like all art, music requires sharing. Performing has its own kind of rewards, but the gentle guidance of another's pursuit of a dream, as they make their own discovery of value, worth, and purpose, is a humbling and exalting art in itself. And there's no greater self-learning than that found in teaching."

Wendy Reynolds teaches Applied Voice and Piano Proficiency, along with general education classes such as Musical Theatre and Opera. She also directs the College Choir and collaborates with the Theatre Department during the College musical production.

Scholarly Interests

My interest is continually piqued by observations around the relevance, purpose, and evolution of music in society, its power to contribute to and comment on the world in which it is created, including but not limited to popular song through the ages.
