FALCON FEATURES

FACULTY SPOTLIGHT | TAMMY BENTON

Tammy grew up a Baptist preacher’s daughter in Houston before her father’s call to another church led them to Midland where she graduated from Robert E. Lee High School. Singing and playing piano were always a big part of her growing up and eventually led her to Baylor University School of Music where she earned both a Bachelor and Master of Arts in Music Education. Away from the classroom she loves hanging at their three Airbnb treehouses, kayaking, playing pickleball, and cheering on the Baylor Bears! She’s beyond grateful for the opportunity to invest in Live Oak students by teaching them to fall in love with singing and to use this God-given gift to worship Him.
