Meet Our Teachers

Olivia Minchello

Olivia Minchello is a junior at University of Massachusetts Lowell in their Music Studies and is ecstatic to start teaching at Music Elements! Olivia is a part of UML’s Chamber Singers and Opera Workshop, as well as the General Manager of Fermata

Nowhere – UML’s premiere all female-identified a cappella group! Olivia this past summer studied at New England Conservatory’s Opera Workshop and the Sarteano Choral Conducting Workshop in Sarteano, Tuscany. Olivia plans to continue her education and attend grad school once she finishes at UMass Lowell. When Olivia is not singing, you can find her crocheting or playing with her dog Bear!

DJ Workshop This past month we had a DJ Workshop with DJ Nicki! She came in and had a small group of kids work on the basics of being a DJ. It was a great time for all who were involved, and we look forward to having another workshop in the future!

Have you heard of this?

Singing Ringing Tree

This work of art is constructed from varying lengths of pipe. As the winds pass over the pipes, it creates an eerie sound. The original towers 3 metres over the East Lancashire landscape in England. In March 2017 a sister singing ringing tree was constructed outside of Austin, Texas in the United States.
