Dragon Profile

Music Teacher

Cheryl Eiszner has always considered music a sound investment. She remembers singing joyfully as a very young child and has continued singing in productions, choirs, and operas ever since. These lifelong achievements provided the perfect segue into St. Richard's School in 1995. Originally hired to teach music to the Early Childhood division on a part-time basis, Mrs. Eiszner is now in her thirteenth year of working full-time with St. Richard's students and her fifth year of teaching to all grade levels.

Mrs. Eiszner received her Bachelor of Music in Voice and Theatre from Indiana University at South Bend. While in college, she performed in operas Boris Godonov and Rigoletto and sang the leading roles of Hansel in Hansel and Gretel, and Cherubino, in The Marriage of Figaro. Following graduation, Cheryl was accepted into a highly selective summer institute for singers at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. There, Italian and French coaches as well as world-renowned sopranos Helen Vanni, Margaret Hoswell, and Judith Raskin instructed her. She also met and married John Eiszner, her husband of twenty-seven years. Mrs. Eiszner continued her education at Indiana University, Bloomington, where she studied voice with Metropolitan Opera Star, Gianna d'Angelo. In 1998, she earned a Master of Music degree from Butler University.

John and Cheryl Eiszner have two young adult daughters, Julia (21) and Sara (18), and three feline family members, Blackberry, Tiger Lily, and Jerry. The Eiszners plan to join Young Voices of Indianapolis in Britain this summer as well as take a separate trip to New York City with the Trinity Episcopal Church choir.

While Mrs. Eiszner's music experience is extensive, what she achieves behind the scenes at St. Richard's School is even more noteworthy. The training of young voices to sing in the annual Arky, Arky play, the Kindergarten Nativity Play, and theMother's Day Bunny performance demonstrate her prowess with working with young children.Lessons and Carols, the Middle School Musical, and instructing Middle School students to play the hand bells are but a few of Mrs. Eiszner's accomplishments with older students. Her support with set production, soloists, guest performances, percussion, and singing in foreign languages provides amazing musical integration into the rest of the St. Richard's curriculum. St. Richard's School is grateful to have such a dedicated instructor of music who brings Global Readiness, Faith, and Leadership to life on a daily basis.
