A 2007 graduate of Nebraska Wesleyan University with a Bachelor of Arts in music (vocal emphasis), Jessica Parson is a versatile soloist, musician, composer, and instructor. Her interests in church music, world music, opera, musical theatre, vocal pedagogy, and pop culture have given Miss Parson diverse experiences and educational opportunities.
Some of Miss Parson's educational experiences include: courses in world music, African-American music, an independent course on church music and hymn-writing, multi-cultural theatre, multiple theology/religious courses, intercultural communication, vocal pedagogy, vocal diction, music history, music theory, sight-singing and ear-training, opera workshops, and much more.

Miss Parson maintained a private voice studio for 3 1/2 of her 4 years of undergraduate studies. With students of various ages and abilities, Miss Parson has gained experience teaching both male and female voices, young and old, and styles as different as contemporary Christian to opera aria.
