Our conductor, Brianna Petty is happy to call Tucson home; her family has been in Arizona for, eight generations. She studied Choral Music Education at the University of Arizona, where she received her Bachelor of Arts Education in 2004, and later a Master’s degree in Education: Curriculum and Instruction. She taught choir at Sabino and Salpointe Catholic High Schools, where her choirs always took the highest honors. She has taught beginning piano and voice lessons since 1997. Music will always be a focal point of her life.
Our assistant conductor, Melissa Hale, was involved in music throughout her youth, starting with church choir at the age of 8 and piano lessons at 10. At University of Alabama in Huntsville and Birmingham Southern College, she studied Voice Performance, accompanied the Women’s Chorus, and continued singing in the College Choir, the Village Singers, and Music Ambassadors (a scholarship program). She has performed with choirs and ensembles in the U.S., Mexico, Guatemala, and Europe.
Our accompanist, Shantell Funckes, began her career as a collaborative pianist at age 6, accompanying vocalists from Sabino High School for Regional and All-State auditions. Since then she has acquired a vast repertoire and graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelors of Music in Piano Performance. Shantell has accompanied local choirs ranging from the UA Symphonic Choir and the University Singers to the Tucson Boys Chorus. She offers her talents to her church choir and several solo vocalists. Shantell’s desire is to collaborate with other musicians to bring the gift of music to those around her.
