- The Cobscook Community Learning Center is delighted to welcome Heather Andrews to our roster of music instructors. Heather is both a composer and performer who has sung with various ensembles and as a solo artist for many years. With her musical training stemming from the genres of folk, blues, jazz, classical, modern, and rock and roll, she offers students a wide range of depth and experience. Heather’s passion for voice and its artistic potential saturates her life and continues to grow. As a teacher, she emphasizes practicing healthy technique, connecting with one’s natural voice, and developing each individual’s capacity for full vocal expression.
Heather says, “The ability to express one’s self is a basic human need that, tragically, often goes unmet. The arts – whether it be painting, poetry, or song – are vital to both the health and well-being of the individual and the broader world. The crafts of artistic creation not only provides beauty and sustenance for the soul while increasing the strength and resilience of our communities, but also have tremendous power to heal, nurture, and act as a liberating force within the creator.”

- Kara’s musical journey started
at an early age. She identifies the euphonium (a brass instrument
related to the tuba) as her first (and until recently, primary)
instrument and often wonders where her life would be now if she
majored on the instrument in college instead of environmental studies. [more]
