Leah Schick is so excited to join Lower Moreland School District's music department during this 2023-24 school year! Leah started learning violin at five years old and studied violin, voice, and piano from childhood up to the professional level. She enjoyed participating in every orchestra, choir, and musical theatre opportunity available to her. When she started teaching and conducting music at age fifteen, she quickly knew that music education was her passion.

Leah graduated from Temple University’s honors program with a degree in Music Education, concentration in violin/orchestral studies, and has been teaching various music lessons/ensembles in the local community for over ten years. A few highlights of her teaching experiences include completing a research projected entitled "Music Across Language Barriers" while teaching various instruments at a music school in Ecuador, founding and directing a choir of singers spanning the ages of six to one-hundred and four years old called "Music Across the Ages," leading a middle school choir to win a "Superior" award at the High Note Festival while growing the choir by 5x it's original size within one year, bringing almost five hundred elementary students together to learn about other cultures by singing and dancing to music from around the world, and more.

Leah is very passionate about helping every student find their path in music, making music class a meaningful and relevant experience for students, and bringing our community together through music! Through the process of musical growth and experiences, she loves to see students growing as creative individuals, leaders, artists, and community contributors.

Besides teaching and performing music, Leah enjoys spending time with my family, friends, and her cats. She loves nature, hiking, traveling, and trying new things.

Leah truly loves teaching music and feels very grateful to be a part of Lower Moreland's music department!

Evan Weisblatt (he/him/his) is a passionate music educator who loves all things soul, R & B, and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Evan is the Director of Choral Activities and one of the general music teachers at Murray Avenue School (6th-8th grades). Evan directs four ensembles comprising of ~250 singers: 6th Grade Chorus, 7th & 8th Grade Chorus, ManChoir, and LionVoice a Cappella (auditioned, advanced pop a cappella group). Evan’s ensembles have won numerous awards and consistently receive superior ratings at adjudicated festivals. His choirs have performed at famous venues across the region, including: Citizens Bank Park, The Wells Fargo Center, and The Liacouras Center. Additionally, LionVoice was recently featured on the radio and voted as a finalist in the B101 Christmas Choir Competition. LionVoice has also released several studio recordings on all major music streaming platforms. Evan’s main goal is to instill in his students a passion for using music as a vehicle for artistic expression; he often tells his students: “don’t just sing notes, but, instead, make music. Be authentic and use your voice to express something.” 

Aside from his career as a choral educator, Evan loves himself some a cappella. Evan served for four years as the music director of Temple University’s CARA award-winning and ICCA-finalist, OwlCappella. Evan is an avid arranger and has created dozens of a cappella arrangements. While Evan’s main mode of expression is pop, soul, and R&B, he is also a classically trained singer with three degrees in music: B.M. summa cum laude in Music Education and Vocal Performance from Temple University and a M.M. in Music Education from the University of the Arts; he received the Excellence in the M.M. Music Education Award for his work at University of the Arts. Evan recently published his thesis titled, Fitting Square Pegs into Round Holes: The Vocal and Social Implications of Various Groupings of Seventh & Eighth Grade Boys in Chorus. Evan has also won awards for his work in musical theater and was the keynote speaker at both his high school and college graduations! 

When he’s not teaching, you can find Evan amassing a collection of microphones and live sound equipment, running sound for concerts and events, cooking food for his wife, traveling the world with his wife and family, watching The Office and I Think You Should Leave, and snuggling his 80-pound Boxer/Lab mix, Buddy. Evan lives in Philadelphia with his wife, dog, and two cats.
