Linnea Heichelheim grew up in Beaverton surrounded by music and art. She often tutored her peers and discovered her love teaching choirs by mentoring those around her. Through music, she had the opportunity to travel to London and Paris, and various towns and throughout Germany, Italy, Austria, and China. She completed her Bachelors of Music Education with an emphasis on choir through Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, just north of Chicago. While in college, she spent her time singing in choirs, learning as many instruments as she could her hands on, and developing her proficiency in German. Ms. Heichelheim also spent her weekends mentoring students at the Cook County Juvenile Detention Center in music composition, and working back stage at one of university concert halls. Since graduating, Ms. Heichelheim spent time teaching music in Beaverton. On the weekends, she enjoys kayaking, sewing, and drawing. She is incredibly excited about the growing choral program here in St. Helens and is eager to continue building the choral program.
