Valerie Crescenz

Valerie Showers Crescenz began piano lessons at age 3 and has been making music ever since. She has a B.S. in Music Education and a M.M. in Piano Performance, both from West Chester State College. She has been an instructor at West Chester State, Penn State (Lima campus) and Delaware County Community College, having taught classes in music theory, music history, and piano. She is currently the general music teacher at West Bradford Elementary School, Downingtown, PA., where she also directs the chorus and Orff Ensemble. She is presently working on a second Master's degree, this time in composition.

Mrs. Crescenz has also served as a choir director, an organist, and has also performed as a pianist/vocalist for a number of years. Her real love, however, is composing.
