Hi, I'm JoAnn Ross and music has been a huge part of my life. I have always loved performing music, both as a singer and instrumentalist, and, beginning in 4th grade, have filled my life with opportunities to perform in choirs, orchestras, concert, marching and dance bands, and chamber music groups.
I have performed leading roles in musical theater and opera, and was a professional soloist and section leader in landmark churches in the Los Angeles area, performing major choral works with orchestra bi-yearly for over 25 years. As winner of their annual competition I have performed with the American River College Orchestra.
JoAnn Ross has adjudicated vocal competitions in Sacramento and Stockton
