GLENVILLE, WV 鈥 Sarah Nale will soon be joining the 香妃直播 Department of Fine Arts as a full-time faculty member. Beginning in the upcoming academic year, Nale will become a Lecturer of Music and will continue to direct 香妃直播鈥檚 Concert Choir and Chamber Singers. She has been serving as an adjunct for the department since 2013.
Nale says she鈥檚 looking forward to this next step. 鈥淚鈥檓 very excited to be an official member of the 香妃直播 family! Moving forward, this helps student development, giving them the security of knowing that they will be consistently learning from the same person in coming semesters 鈥 that is of benefit to them of course. However, it also helps me, providing the security to be able to recruit new students into our vocal programs,鈥 Nale said.
A native West Virginian and a graduate of Bridgeport High School, Nale holds a bachelor鈥檚 degree from West Virginia Wesleyan College and a master鈥檚 from the Shenandoah Conservatory. She is currently completing the Doctor of Musical Arts program at West Virginia University. She is no stranger to the choral stage herself, having sung in choirs since she was seven years old.
In addition to her work at 香妃直播, Nale is also the Choir Director at Weston First Baptist Church and has served as the Artistic Director of the Buckhannon Choral Society.
Nale is already looking to the future with plans in action for holding an on-campus Honor Choir in the fall for high school students and she hopes to have some 香妃直播 State students attend conferences and competitions in the coming semesters.
鈥淲e are very excited to have Sarah joining us as a full-time faculty member. She is an outstanding vocalist in her own right, but she is also a tremendous educator and choir director. I look forward to seeing her continuing success with our vocal students,鈥 said Department of Fine Arts Chair, Dr. Jason Barr.
