Hello! My name is Lori Marino. I am excited to start my sixth year at SCS teaching Middle Grade Level Music & Directing the Middle School Choral Music Program. I have truly appreciated the opportunity to continue this full circle journey in my life, teaching music in my hometown! 

I have enjoyed a career of performing and teaching music while raising my family. In May I conducted the Vermont Symphony Orchestra's Children's Chorus for the VSO's performance "Carmina Burana". My most recent appearance on stage was with the Opera Company of Middlebury in their June 2025 production of "La Boheme". In 2025 I also performed with Vermont Opera in Concert as Dorabella in "Cosi fan tutte" and the Vermont Philharmonic as the Alto Soloist in Handel's Messiah. Other appearances include Opera Company of Middlebury's performance of Donizetti's "La fille du regiment" and previously in Beethoven's only opera, "Fidelio". So... I like to sing!! 

I work outside of the classroom teaching as part of the University of Vermont Music Faculty and in my private music studio as a voice instructor. In my down time, I love to bake, golf, play soccer, read a good book and hike with family and friends. I live in Williston with my four wonderful children, our dog, Maya and my daughter's cat, Hazel. I look forward to sharing another wonderful year of music, laughter and creativity with the Shelburne Community School students!
