Getting to Know Rebekah…

What Brought on Your Love of Music?

I’ve loved music for as long as I can remember. As a child, I was (and still am for that matter) liable to burst into song at any given moment. From holiday concerts at school to impromptu karaoke in my kitchen, I would jump at any opportunity to sing.

Did You Play as a Child? If so, What Instruments Did You Play?

Yes. I played the violin for three years, which allowed me to gain a solid foundation in reading music and basic music theory. I then decided to shift the focus of my studies to voice when I was accepted into my middle school’s advanced choir.

Was Your Family Involved in Music?

In addition to my father being an avid Beatles fan, my grandfather is a fourth-generation church organist, and my grandmother sang for many years when she was younger. The time I spent with my grandparents as a child really helped to cultivate my love of music.

Have You Participated in Any Extra Curricular Organizations or Music Clubs?

I have performed with a variety of choirs and community theatre groups, and I was a member of Tri-M Music Honor Society in high school.

What Are Other Types of Instruments in Your Repertoire?

I started teaching myself piano when I was 13 so that I could accompany myself on the pop and musical theatre songs that I loved to sing. I began to pursue piano more seriously when I started college. Lately, I’ve been working on learning the guitar.

Have You Played at Other Venues?

I’ve performed at a variety of venues in New Jersey, including the Shea Center for Performing Arts, and the Alexander Kasser Theater, where I recently performed Carmina Burana with the Montclair State University Chorale.

Any Favorite Hobbies Other Than Music?

I’m a huge bookworm, and can often be found with my nose in a book. I’m also very into fitness and weightlifting, and spending time outdoors, appreciating nature.
