JESSICA GRAY
Vocal Instructor
Jessica has been singing since she could talk, and performing songs since elementary school. She grew up in a musical family who sang together, and happily continues this tradition with her own family. She has enjoyed performing as a soloist, as well as with choral groups, in Minnesota, Utah, California, Michigan, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. She especially loves teaching music to children, and has conducted choirs of children, teens, and adults. Areas she specializes in are ear training, intervals, pitch matching, and teaching singers to sing parts other than the main melody of a song.
Jessica currently sings professionally with VOCE – New England’s Chamber Choir, an acclaimed group based in Hartford, CT, as well as with the PCA Choir, which she founded and formed with director, Deulene Petrie in 2019. Highlights of her singing career include singing with VOCE on stage with Andrea Bocelli in Hartford (February 2024), and singing with VOCE under the direction of Eric Whitacre in Boston (July 2022). She loves being able to share her love of music and performing with those in her community, and help them to develop confidence and "find their voice".
