Originally from Lake Placid, New York, Georgie began her musical studies at a young age, starting with piano at five, violin at six, and clarinet at nine. She was brought up in a musical family surrounded with piano music played by her mother, grandmother, and grandfather who all played for many years. Her father plays drums by “ear” in a variety of bands and in pit bands for musicals. Georgie studied piano, violin, and clarinet intensely for many years, including attendance at the Suzuki Summer Institutes, NYSSSA School of Orchestral Studies, and various other summer music programs, exams, and competitions.

Georgie recently earned a Bachelor of Music from The Crane School of Music at the State University of New York at Potsdam, with degrees in Piano Performance and Music Business with a certification in Piano Pedagogy. She was honored to be able to study with Dr. Young-Ah Tak. Her most recent accomplishments at Crane include winning 2nd prize in the 2017 Richard Stephan String Chamber Competition, two solo recitals, pianist and celestist in the Crane Symphony Orchestra, rehearsal pianist for the Crane Opera Ensemble and much more. One of the highlights of Georgie’s musical education was to be able to perform with the Crane Chorus and Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall. Georgie attended the Brevard Music Center, located in North Carolina and studied with Dr. Douglas Weeks for four summers. She performed in countless recitals and concerts while at the Center. In her final summer at Brevard, Georgie was awarded the Lucille Parish Ward Scholarship from the National Federation of Music Clubs Southeastern and was able to do a special performance at her award acceptance at their annual luncheon. 

Georgie is currently studying at New York University for her Master of Music in Screen Scoring. Her current projects include collaborating with other filmmakers, game designers, and other media venues creating music and audio. Other recent projects have included producing lobby music for the off-Broadway show “Romeo and Bernadette” (2022), performing her piano works at various venues including The DiMenna Center for Classical Music, arranging music, and so much more.

Georgie’s main goal as a music educator is to engage the creative mind and “out-of-the-box” thinking and musical expression in students of all ages. She feels the importance of music is to be within the music itself and to be able to feel the unique connections between mind and sound. Through these connections, she hopes that each student will develop their own individual and positive outlook on their musical studies.
