Heather Wickersham began her music studies at the age of 5 on the piano. However, when introduced to the violin at the age of 9 she found her love and passion. Born and raised in Oklahoma City , Heather received a Bachelors of Music Education from Southern Nazarene University in 2004 and Masters of Music in Violin Performance from the University of Oklahoma in 2007. She went on to teach in the public schools for ten years. Mrs. Wickersham taught fourth and fifth grade beginning strings in Putnam City Public Schools for six years and a Kindergarten beginning violin class in Bethany Public Schools for four years. She is certified in the Suzuki Method, Units 1 and 2 and has maintained a private studio for ten years.
As a performer, Heather plays with the Lawton Philharmonic, Fort Smith Symphony, Painted Sky Opera Company, and Oklahoma Haydn Festival. She also occasionally plays with the Oklahoma City Philharmonic and has performed for Mannheim Steamroller, Michael Buble and Harry Connick Jr. She is an active chamber musician playing weddings, recordings and other events. Heather is grateful for the gifts and opportunities she has received from God and is glad to serve in the Crossings Church Orchestra as well as other churches in Oklahoma City. Her goal as a teacher and performer is to develop the beautiful, God given gift of music to the best of her ability in herself and her students.
