🎹 Teaching Artist Spotlight: Andrea Rohlehr! 🎹

As we look forward to celebrating our incredible piano teachers at this year’s Evening of 100 Fingers, we’re shining a spotlight on the talented Teaching Artists who make our programs so special!

✨ Meet Andrea Rohlehr, a proud St. Louis native and University of Kansas graduate with a Bachelor of Music Education. Andrea began her career teaching elementary and middle school music with St. Louis Public Schools and Confluence schools before spending many years in New York City as a full-time musician, recording artist, and piano/vocal instructor with Youth Theatre Interactives.

But Andrea’s talents don’t stop at the piano! She’s also a singer/songwriter, flutist, self-published children’s book author, and visual artist behind The HumAnnity Collection. And, most importantly, she’s the proud mom of two! ❤️

We’re so lucky to have Andrea sharing her talents with our students—and we can’t wait to see her take the stage!

🎶 Don’t miss Andrea performing at our 2026 Evening of 100 Fingers on Sunday, October 18 at the Sheldon Concert Hall!
