Lisa Vaughn, PSO Operations Coordinator
Lisa Vaughn began serving as FCO's Operations Coordinator for Prelude String Orchestra (PSO) in July, 2019. Since 2015, PSO had been operating as its own nonprofit youth string orchestra, working alongside Fenton Community Orchestra. In Spring of 2019, PSO officially merged with Fenton Community Orchestra, now operating as FCO's youth string orchestra program.
Prior to co-founding Prelude String Orchestra in 2015, Ms. Vaughn co-founded Fenton Community Orchestra, always with the goal in mind to have FCO support, create, or partner with a local community youth orchestra program. Since its inception, Lisa has enjoyed serving as an FCO musician. From 2006-2016, Ms. Vaughn owned A Joyful Noise Music Studio, which became and remains a local fixture in the music community. She has been a private and small-group piano and violin instructor since 2003 and continues to operate a small music studio of her own.
Lisa recently earned her Master's Degree in Education from the University of Michigan-Flint and is excited to use her skills and experiences working in community development and the musical education of area youth in her position with FCO.
Lisa resides in Fenton and is a proud mother to her four children: Carter Maluski, Meghan Bayer, Emma Bayer, and Kaitlin Bayer.
