Abby Murray is a musician and educator with a lifelong love for music, movement, and helping students find joy in creating. A Delaware native, she is a double graduate of the University of Delaware, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Choral Music Education and Master’s degree in Teaching Students with Disabilities.

Music has been a central part of Abby’s life from a young age. She grew up singing in school ensembles and choirs while also training as a clarinetist. Throughout high school and college, she had the opportunity to perform with and conduct a variety of choral ensembles. Some of her most memorable experiences include participating in a TEDx talk with her high school choir and performing major choral works such as Orff’s Carmina Burana and Mozart’s Requiem. Abby has received vocal training in both classical and musical theater styles and has a particular passion for contemporary commercial music (CCM) and worship.

Abby’s teaching philosophy is rooted in inclusivity, personal growth, and the joy of making music. With degrees in music education and special education, she is passionate about creating a welcoming, supportive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to grow. She believes that music education is about more than developing technical skills; it is also an opportunity to build confidence, encourage self-expression, and cultivate a lifelong love of music. Abby strives to meet each student where they are, tailoring her approach to their individual strengths, needs, and goals.

Outside of teaching, Abby serves as a Campus Ministry Associate with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at the University of Delaware, the same ministry through which she came to know Jesus during college. She is also an active member of Great Exchange Church, where she was part of the church’s planting team and currently serves in worship and children’s ministry.
