Mandie Furrow

Heyo! My name is Mandie and...you name it, I have done it in the music industry!  Let me tell you a little bit about myself.  I grew up in a small town in Virginia where I regularly performed in church and local theatres.  When it was time to go to college, there was no question I wanted to study music and singing.  I started out pursuing contemporary singing.  In my first two years of college, I received the opportunities to help manage music festivals, meet my favorite bands, study with Grammy winning song writers, and perform in my own band.  However, one special professor pushed me to study classical music.  This is where my passion for music really began to soar.  Within the next couple years I was studying opera all over Europe with some of the world's most prominent opera singers, teachers, and directors.  After awhile, that same professor pushed me to further my education so I could become a teacher.  I have been teaching for several years now, and I absolutely love it.  Whether you are a professional or a beginner, younger or...a little late to the game :), I love sharing my passion for music with anyone at any stage!
