One Voice Assistant Director Tammy Palazzolo
Tammy pursued a degree in music education so she could combine her two passions: music and education. She feels that there is nothing more beautiful, than a group of individuals uniting their voices in harmony to create something bigger than themselves. Choir is one instance in life, where a group of people are all focusing on the same goal. She knows that One Voice will provide this moment of magic to young women in the Metro Detroit Area.
Tammy Palazzolo has her bachelors degree in Vocal Music Education from Wayne State University. She has experience teaching all grade-levels, but found her home teaching middle school choir in the Chippewa Valley School district at Wyandot Middle School. Tammy directs three-grade level choirs totaling over 200 students, and also works as the music-director of the all-school musical. She spends her summers working different music workshops, such as the Summer Choir in Grosse Pointe.
