MUSIC
Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things... Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music. - Palm 98:1,4
Mrs. Heather Hunter
I am a passionate music educator, violinist, and classically trained singer who deeply believes in every child’s ability to succeed in music when they feel inspired. I studied music at the University of South Carolina in my hometown of Columbia where I cantored and taught children’s choir at the Basilica of St. Peter. My students led weekly school mass and sang alongside a live orchestra in the annual local production of The Nutcracker ballet. I strive to create a healthy and focused classroom environment where her students work together to grow in their abilities.
Since moving to Washington in 2023, I have played as principal second violinist of the Northwest Symphony Orchestra and worked as a singer at numerous churches in Seattle. Additionally, I coach weekly violin sectionals, maintain my own private music studio, music direct at a youth musical theater summer camp, and performs chamber music at events and weddings. When not teaching or playing, I enjoy exploring the mountains, gardening, and painting.
I am so excited for the opportunity to help students develop knowledge and love of music as part of the faculty at St Nicholas.
