Valerie Showers Crescenz began piano lessons at age 3 and has been
making music ever since. She has a B.S. in Music Education and a M.M.
in Piano Performance, both from West Chester State College. She is presently working
towards a second Master's degree in Composition.
She has been sharing her knowledge and love of music as an instructor at West Chester State, Penn State (Lima campus) and Delaware County Community College. She is currently the general music teacher at West Bradford Elementary School, Downingtown, PA., where she also directs the chorus and Orff Ensemble.
Mrs. Crescenz has also served as a choir director, an organist, and has also performed as a pianist/vocalist for a number of years. Her real love, however, is composing. She is a member of ASCAP, American Composers Forum, Music Educators National Conference, Pennsylvania Music Educators Association, American Choral Directors Association and International Alliance of Women in Music. Her compositions are published by Hinshaw Music, Oxford University Press, BriLee Music, Abingdon Press, and Alliance Music.
