Women’s Chorus, A Capella, and Jazz choirs.
She was chosen to sing at All-State in the

Jillyn plays piano and guitar.

In
high school I was involved in the Acapella, Jazz,
and Women’s Chorus. At the end of my senior year
I was awarded the Ella Fitzgerald award, as well
as earning two superior ratings at district music
festival. I was chosen to sing with the
Centennials band at All State. I was also chosen
to sing in the women’s chorus at All State.
I was also given the privilege to sing a
solo at my high school graduation. To this date I
have had seven years of voice lessons. I am
currently a music education major at Boise State
University and have been singing in Vox Angeles, a
women’s chorus for two years. I just completed
an opera under Boise State in which I had a minor
lead.
I
intend to teach general music at the elementary
level. I would also love to teach private voice
lessons in the future.
I
currently work at the YMCA in the child and teen
center. I am very active in my church group and
each year participate in Rake Up Boise and Paint
the Town. I have been involved in several of the
local theatre groups in town for the past twelve
years.
