JUDY MALLORY - Executive Director - Arts For All, Inc

I was the director of School of the Arts when it closed. I and the other SOTA staff formed Arts For All, Inc. February 2006. For the past 15 years, I have dreamt of having a school that provides the arts for those who do not have the opportunity or can't afford to enjoy the arts. My education includes a B.S. degree in Art Education and an M.S. degree in Counseling. I have taught Art for OPS, Boys Town and the College For Kids. Growing up I spent 10 years studying the piano and playing music for churches and choirs. I continued to enjoy music by singing in choirs, and ensembles. A large part of my working career was spent in corporate America teaching, developing courses, supervising and counseling. I taught adults a variety of courses from Developing Creativity and Emotional Intelligence to Cultural Diversity, Team Building, Instructional Skills, Leadership and Personal Development. Now, I am truly excited about the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others through the arts.

JUDY FOUNTAIN - Piano Instructor

I have been teaching piano privately since 1985 to students from the age of 5 through adults. What a joy it is to pass on the great gift of music! Area nursing home residents enjoy hearing my student's performances when we come for our recitals a couple of times each year. I believe it is important to share the talents God has given each student as well as encourage our elderly community. I also have been home schooling our six children since 1986 and volunteer in different capacities at our local church and in the community. Teaching in a group setting at Arts for All is now a new endeavor for me and has been very rewarding. Not only is each student exposed to a variety of repertoire, theory and ear training as in private lessons, but they also have the opportunity to perform for others in a very small group before the larger recital at the end of each semester. May they each take God's gift of music and use it for good throughout their lifetime!
