Rhonda Wheasler brings many years of experience in piano, voice and theatre to WPAS. She has taught private piano and voice lessons for over 40 years with special emphasis on preparing young and adult performers for special events, auditions, or just to increase their confidence and range in playing or singing. She began her training in piano at the age of 6 and studied with Judy Sargeant, Faye Mahaffey, Clara Speight and Celeste Armintrout. She has served as pianist at several churches in the area, provided music for events, played keyboards for local bands, and accompanied many vocalists and instrumentalists at High School Solo and Ensemble Contest.
Rhonda started singing at a young age and was very active in church choirs, school choirs, professional vocal groups, and local/regional theatre productions. She studied voice as a Preparatory student at the University of Cincinnati for three years and continued her studies at Wilmington College graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Vocal Performance. Rhonda believes her immersion into the many styles and influences of music encourages her students to try new composers and expand their own musical knowledge. She feels a student who enjoys what they are playing, or singing, will continue to increase their love of music and practice, practice, practice!
Rhonda lives in Wilmington with David, and enjoys designing, decorating, fiber crafts, and watching/reading anything fantasy or science fiction. She also works full-time at Air Transport International as a Training Scheduler for the flight crews.
