Our Founder
Lois Reese
Recognized by the Virginia Symphony as one of Hampton Roads' Top 30 Music Educators in 2015, Lois has a vast musical background. She has been a church music director for over 30 years, leading singers, ringers, and world drummers of all ages. More than half of her career has now been spent at Hilton Presbyterian Church, the home of High Notes Music School.
After 20 years in the classroom, Lois decided to open her own music school. She has been a presenter for Virginia Wesleyan Summer Church Music Conference, Massanetta Springs Worship and Music Conference, and Handbell Musicians of America on the national and regional levels.
She is also an accredited instructor for the Handbell Musicians of America, has sung for Virginia Opera, plays in and has directed the Virginia Handbell Consort, and has sung with the Virginia Symphony Chorus. Most recently she has added training the Health Rhythms protocol, certification from Village Music Circles and Jim Donovan as a drum circle facilitator.
When not teaching music, Lois teaches water fitness. You can find her in the pool at Brittingham-Midtown Community Center in Newport News and the YMCA Health and Wellness Center in Hampton.
