Ms. Ferguson has a Bachelor of Music from The University of Delaware (with a major in Voice/Music Education and a minor in Psychology) and Masters degrees from Queens College (Music Education) and Adelphi (Social Work).  Before coming to Seaford in 2002, she taught Basic Music, Music Theory, and Chorus at Sacred Heart Academy in Hempstead. She maintained a private voice studio for ten years, and she is a certified NYSSMA voice adjudicator. In addition, she loves to arrange choral music for her groups.

Ms. Ferguson lives with a brilliant human child who is in middle school as well as two shelter cats that she adopted for $10 each. Gabriel Spirit Ferguson is white with brown tabby spots whose "Warrior Cats" name is Spotted Breeze. Ringo Rocco Joey Ron Ferguson is a brown tabby with white spots and a squishy face. Both cats were a huge bargain (2 for $20), and Ms. Ferguson didn't even meet Ringo until she took him out of the carrier at home.

Ms. Ferguson's family of origin is spread out in all corners of the country, but she has a very happy home with her Seaford family. She felt moved to work with middle schoolers after hearing how much they were capable of at NYSSMA festivals. Even on tougher days, she is still in awe that she gets paid to listen to and support your wonderful, bright, silly, and talented children.
