Tagg, Jeannette Rayner
“Jeannette was an active member of the music community in Pittsburgh since she and Stan moved there in 1960. She was choral director and organist for many churches over the years, pioneered Suzuki piano instruction, taught voice at the Centers for the Musically Talented, produced and directed many choral and opera productions, and founded and directed the Children’s Festival Chorus. At the age of 67 she graduated from Trinity Anglican Seminary and became an ordained Presbyterian Minister, serving churches in Pittsburgh and Virginia until her retirement. She leaves a legacy of enrichment for every area she was a part of.
