Megan’s love for music started back in 6th grade band class in Texas when she picked up the flute for the first time. Growing up as an “army brat” meant moving a lot—from Germany to Texas, Missouri, and Kentucky—before finally landing in Stafford, Virginia for high school. With the guidance and support of some incredible teachers, Megan honed her talent and skills, which led her to earn a coveted spot in the All-Virginia Band.
Now, Megan’s chasing her musical dreams at Shenandoah University Conservatory seeking a Bachelor of Music in Music Education. She’s involved in the Flute Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, and the SU Marching Band. Not only does she play the flute, but she’s also proficient on piccolo and alto flute. Her twin sister is at Tulane University, her older brother is serving in the US Army, and her younger brother is still in high school. Back in Stafford, her parents take care of the family’s two dogs and Megan’s cat, Liberty.
When she’s not playing music, Megan loves painting, thrifting, and having fun with her friends. Megan’s journey is all about sharing her love of music with all.
Megan would like to thank the amazing public school band directors who made a difference in her life and inspired her to follow in their footsteps: Ryan Stewart, Copperas Cove Jr. High; Gene Welch, Mountain View High School; Austin Fairley, Mountain View High School. She would also like to thank her flute teachers Dr. Kelly Kazik and Ms. Primavera for their dedication and expertise.
