BIOGRAPHIES



Name: Beth Staley

Address: Akron, OH

Phone:

Date of Birth: October 17, 1966

Present or last employer: Dental Assistant, then Homemaker! Next, it’s on to Nursing School

Hobbies: Raising my two girls (now 4 & 9yrs old); playing my ‘cello; helping out at church, especially with the little kids.

Music Preference: I had such a great childhood musically, that now I enjoy many types of music!.

Who or what turned you on to NHB: My father, Ted Johnson (retired clarinetist from the Cleveland Orchestra!).

Suggestions: I had left my ‘cello to rot in my attic for years. My Dad told me about NHB, my very neglected ‘cello was fixed and then I was ready to play with the NH Strings. I love it! It has been 18 years since I have really played my ‘cello. This is such a great outlet for me. I am so grateful for Teddi and Betsy who volunteer their time for the String Ensemble. I am extra grateful for Teddi’s patience with me as I re-learn the ‘cello and try to get rid of the interesting habits I now have when playing!
