Analiese Cornelio

Analiese Cornelio loves to spend her free time making music with her husband Aaron, who is also a musician, and their cat Winston, who may not be musically inclined, but serves as a topic of frequent feline songwriting inspiration. Analiese grew up entranced by the skilled musicianship on display at the Masterworks Festival in Winona Lake. These performances inspired her to earn her Music Education degree from Taylor University with a double concentration in Vocal and Instrument Pedagogy. She now has been teaching voice lessons for five years and violin lessons for more than a decade. For Analiese, music is a way to express feelings and emotions even when we don’t have the words, and she’s eager to help students discover new, creative ways to express themselves. She even spent some time teaching music across language barriers in South Korea. Analiese has since gone back to perform at the same Masterworks Festival that inspired her, as well as with the Symphony of the Lakes, Fort Wayne Civic Theater, and the Blue Lake Festival Orchestra. When not performing, you can find Analiese enjoying the outdoors, doing puzzles, sewing, and knitting.
