Jo Abrom has been teaching music for over 30 years. Abrom's journey in the worlds of both music and music education has taken the Stroudsburg native across the country and to Lancaster County, where she's spent the past 25 years teaching the community's future Broadway stars and aspiring church choir singers alike.

Abrom joined the singing group Re-Creation USA immediately after high school and performed across the United States for two years. Upon leaving Re-Creation, Abrom attended Susquehanna University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in music with a concentration in voice. After graduating from Susquehanna University, she attended Arizona State University and earned a master's degree in vocal performance and pedagogy, the method and practice of teaching. Abrom began teaching in Arizona at the age of 22 while she earned her master's degree.

Abrom briefly lived and taught in New Jersey before finally moving to Lancaster in 1998 when her husband was hired as Lafayette Elementary School's principal. Since the beginning of her teaching career, Abrom has continued her own education via conferences and other methods of exploring the art of singing. "I'm always in learning mode and trying to find new techniques," said Abrom. "I want to bring the most current methods to my students."

Abrom currently teaches at Sight & Sound's conservatory in Ronks in addition to teaching private lessons through Abrom Vocal Studio, located just off Harrisburg Pike in Hempfield School District, and she worked as the Fulton Theatre's music director for five years. Abrom's students range from preschoolers to senior citizens, and many of her students are performers in local productions at Sight & Sound, Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre and Fulton Theatre. Abrom also teaches actors in school plays, singers in local bands, students looking to study classical theater in college and those who simply wish to sing in their church choir. "There's a wealth of musical experiences for people to take part of in (Lancaster)," said Abrom. "It's so exciting because everyone comes to lessons for a different reason."

In 2020, Abrom wrote "College Audition Success! A Survival Guide For Musical Theatre and Voice Majors," a book detailing key elements of the audition process and how to prepare for it. Abrom's book is available for purchase on http://www.Amazon.com. "Every lesson is different and every voice is unique," said Abrom. "I love taking a singer and helping them to grow and to be the best that they can be."
