✨ With melodies in her heart, Torrey Jackson shares her passion for music with a new generation. She holds a Master’s in Opera Performance from the Longy School of Music of Bard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and dual bachelor’s degrees in Vocal Performance and Music Education from Appalachian State.

Beyond the classroom, Torrey is an avid supporter and volunteer with Lexington Live Community Theatre and Arts Davidson County, where she contributes both on and off stage. Her performances have spanned stages from New York to Boston to North Carolina, across plays, operas, and musicals. When the curtain falls, she treasures time with her daughter Elliott, creates culinary delights, and dreams up new adventures with her husband Kelly—a fellow music teacher in Lexington City Schools and guitarist who adds his own harmony to their musical life. 🎵✨

Resources

🌟This year in music, students will be singing every day while developing healthy vocal habits through physical and vocal warm-ups. We will also be moving, playing music games, learning and speaking Spanish, and building confidence through individual and group music-making. Throughout the year, students will have opportunities to perform for their classmates, demonstrating the songs and skills they have learned. My goal is for students to become more comfortable using Spanish vocabulary in the music room and to encourage confident, independent singing. By the end of the year, I hope to see at least a 5% increase in the number of students who are willing to sing a solo or individual musical part.🌟
