Meet our new Music Director, Ms. Jennifer Forleo
I am thrilled to be the new Music Director at Holy Name! I am originally from Rutland and am a graduate of Wachusett High School. I graduated from Northwestern University (Go 'Cats!) with a major in Music Education before teaching band for two years in the Midwest. I moved back to Central Massachusetts and taught for three more years before moving out to Nebraska to pursue graduate work. At the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, I served as a graduate assistant in the band program. My duties included assisting with and conducting the 290 member marching band; directing the pep bands, concert band, symphonic band, and wind ensemble; training the drum majors; and assisting with the advanced conducting course. I later joined the staff of St. Peter Claver College Preparatory School in Omaha, a member of the Cristo Rey National Network, where I taught band and choir. Unfortunately, the school closed down, and I moved back to Central Massachusetts. I am excited to be back home and close to my family and look forward to great years ahead as part of the Holy Name family. |
