A resident of Freehold Township, N.J., Nicole DePresca, an accomplished musician, has
been performing for audiences all her life.
Her professional career took off 16 years ago as she began playing the
New Jersey Shore circuit.
Nicole attended Hanover Park High School in East Hanover, NJ where she was heavily involved in all aspects of the music department and expanded her knowledge and experience by performing in various vocal and instrumental ensembles including the highly selective and prestigious All Eastern Chorus and NJ All State Chorus. She continued her education at William Paterson University in Wayne, NJ, where she majored in Music Education while serving as president of the WPU Collegiate MENC chapter during her senior year. Nicole was also a member of Pi Lambda Theta: International Honor Society and Professional Association in Education, as well as an active member of NJMEA. She was presented with the 1999-2000 Outstanding Music Education Student Award and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education (concentration in voice, minor in piano).
Upon graduation, Nicole received a full-time teaching position at Collins Elementary School and Riker Hill Elementary School in Livingston, N.J. where she taught K-5 General Music and 4th and 5th grade chorus. After she relocated to Monmouth County in 2001, she became the primary school general music teacher (Grades 1-3 and self-contained) at the Mahala F. Atchison School in Tinton Falls, NJ and continues to inspire ‘little minds’ with music every day. In 2009, Nicole was voted ‘Teacher of the Year’ by her colleagues, administration, and parents of the Tinton Falls School District. In May of 2010, Nicole was published in TEMPO Magazine on her article entitled, “Unite Students Digitally Everyday in the Elementary Setting.”
Besides teaching music to young students, you can find Nicole and Denise almost every weekend and throughout the summers performing at the Jersey Shore. Nicole and Denise have performed at numerous private parties, town events, weddings and thousands of gigs at local restaurants, bars and taverns.
