Meet the Teachers
Evan Hurley is a graduate of The University of Southern Mississippi with a Master of
Music degree in violin performance, a Bachelor of Music in violin performance, and a Bachelor
of Music Education. Mr. Hurley is currently attending the University of Cincinnati College-
Conservatory of Music as a Doctor of Musical Arts student. He is devoted and passionate about
spreading musical education and appreciation to people of all ages. Mr. Hurley believes in
providing a positive teaching environment that motivates students to further their education and
enjoyment of music. He has also had many years of experience teaching violin students and
playing in professional symphony orchestras across the southern United States. Some of his
accomplishments include Concertmaster of The University of Southern Mississippi Symphony
Orchestra from May 2010 – 2011 and various performances with guest artists such as Ricky
Skaggs, Joshua Bell, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, Patti LaBelle, Dionne Warwick, Placido
Domingo, and Sir James Galway. His goal is to harbor a life-long love of classical music in his
students.
Lauren Schloemer received her BA in music education and orchestral studies while attending
Northern Kentucky University on a full Academic Corbett Music scholarship in May of 2010.
Since then she has worked with the NKU preparatory program for beginning strings teaching 3rd
and 4th grade students basic technique and reading skills as well as working in several local
school music programs as a long term substitute orchestra teacher, competing in the OMEA solo
and ensemble contest for large group orchestra earning both I and II ratings respectively. She has
been teaching violin, cello, viola and fiddle privately since 2003 while also maintaining a busy
schedule as a professional musician in the local music scene as a bluegrass
instrumentalist/vocalist, solo artist and in-demand session musician recording in several local
studios. She has been playing since the age of 7 starting on the violin and french horn, and
eventually picking up viola and cello before acquiring guitar, banjo, mandolin and fiddle skills as
well. She is very excited to be a part of the Northern Kentucky School of Music and working
with its staff to help create a fertile learning environment for future musicians.

Ellen C. Stephens received her Bachelor of Music in cello performance from the Middle
Tennessee State University and her Master of Music in cello performance from the University of

outreach string programs in the local elementary schools for Northern Kentucky. Additional

An active soloist and chamber musician, Stephens performs in the tri-state area several
times a year. Other performances include cellist with the Opera Theatre of Lucca, Italy, Dayton
