Sam Wasson, Voice, Piano, and Guitar Faculty, Music Therapist
Sam is a musician and *Music Therapist, much like Sarah, another great member of our team. Originally from Lewistown, Pennsylvania, Sam began piano lessons at 7 years old and fell in love with singing in choirs in the adult church choir as an elementary student. Sam has participated as a vocalist in multiple choirs in middle and high school, along with competing in district and regional choir festivals.
Sam holds a Bachelors of Music in Music Therapy from Elizabethtown College and is a Board Certified Music Therapist. In addition to her studies, Sam sang in multiple choirs in college, including traveling to South Africa with Concert Choir and Jazz Band to perform and work with local choirs.
In addition to piano and voice (her primary instrument), Sam began learning guitar at the start of college and loves playing to accompany her own and others singing to bring people together, which is so awesome—Sam gets the communal nature of music which is crucial to why we do what we do and teach the way we do!
As a music therapist, Sam has experience with adult psychiatric clients, older adults, and adults and children with developmental disabilities. Sam also loves volunteering on the worship team at her church as a vocalist and guitarist. She also loves cats, working with infants, chai lattes, being in nature, and baking.
*TIA is the only non-profit music academy in the South Sound with not one, but TWO board certified and licensed music therapists.
Sam, like most of our faculty, is extrenmely busy and booked nearly solid, but has one spot available Mondays at 9:30, perfect for a homeschooler or an adult with Monday morninga availability.
Sam is very busy but has just a few openings for voice, piano, or beginning guitar Tuesdays at 4:30 and 5:30, and Thursday evenings at 5:30 (as of June) ! Drop us a line for details!
