 Our
featured soloist in this concert is a native of Kerrville and a Tivy
High School graduate. Michelle Adam became interested in music through
her grandmother’s influence playing piano from age five.
Michelle began flute study in the sixth grade and decided during her
middle school years that she wanted to have a career in music. She
continued her studies after high school and graduated with confidence in
her playing ability and a music degree from the University of Texas at
San Antonio.
Following her university study, Michelle taught at a middle school in
San Antonio and later became the band director at Comfort Middle School.
During her career in Comfort her middle school band was named a finalist
in the state-wide Honor Band competition sponsored by the Texas Music
Educators Association.
During and since her college years, Michelle has soloed with several
symphony orchestras. She has been the principal flautist with the
Symphony of the Hills since 2003 and first soloed with the orchestra
several years ago.
Michelle is married to Jason Adam, former band director at Tivy High
School. This past summer they moved to New Braunfels where Jason is band
director at Canyon High School. Michelle now has a flourishing studio of
flute students, both in Kerrville and New Braunfels.
