Sharon Voss
Sharon Voss grew up in Singapore where her father indulged her love of music by accompanying her to many concerts and arranging for piano lessons. She later earned an undergraduate degree in music from Oberlin Conservatory of Music and a graduate degree in music from Northwestern University. After graduation, she taught general music at Old St. Patrick’s School in Chicago and at Holy Family School in Granite City.
Sharon settled in Glen Carbon with her husband, Eric, and her sons, Tristan and Elliot. Both boys participated in the SIUE Suzuki String Program for 21 years. During that time, she volunteered as an accompanist for the Edwardsville String Ensemble, which eventually led to her current role as accompanist for the Suzuki program.
In addition to her job at SIUE, Sharon also maintains a private piano studio at home, serves as a committee member for Express the Music, performs regularly with the bell choir at First Presbyterian Church Edwardsville, accompanies District 7 students during Solo and Ensemble Contests, and works part time in the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra library.
