Ella Nolte is University High School’s new choir director! She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Brigham Young University with a degree in Music Education and a minor in Spanish Education in April 2026. She grew up in a musical family in Pomona, California — so musical in fact that she and her three brothers are all named after jazz musicians! During her time at BYU she studied classical voice with Chris Holmes, sang internationally with the BYU choirs, and developed a love for teaching music that she is excited to share with her new students. Her professional experience includes almost 4 years of hosting a classical music radio show on the station Classical 89, teaching English night classes to immigrants, and her student teaching in the Washington DC area where she directed the Justice High School choirs at their VCDA state festival, receiving superior scores. Teaching choir in Southern California has been her dream since she was choir president and section leader at her middle school and then her high school growing up. She can’t wait to get to work, make joyful memories, and create beautiful music with her students at UHS! |
