Janet Rawleigh, has been teaching instrumental music for over 25 years in public and private elementary and secondary schools.  She also served as adjunct faculty at Eastern University, Philadelphia Biblical University, and Valley Forge Christian College. Before teaching in her current job as elementary music teacher at Burrowes Elementary School, School District of Lancaster, she directed the music education program at Lancaster Bible College.  Her conducting experience includes directing orchestra at the Csehy Summer School of Music, the Lancaster Community Orchestra, the L-S Community Band, and the Lancaster Bible College Band and Orchestra.

Performing as both an oboe soloist and orchestra member has been a love or Janet’s since she started to study oboe at age 11.  She has freelanced in both the Lancaster and Philadelphia area. Her professional goals have always included sharing a love of music with students in a way that helps foster life-long participation in music.  As she works with the Musical Art Society of Lancaster and the Junior Orchestra it is her hope that students will not only become more skilled as performers but more deeply committed to making music an integral part of their life.
