Tom Pease, a native of Burbank California, received both his BM and MM from USC in music composition. After obtaining his bachelor’s degree, he taught secondary choral music, most recently at Taft High School. Under his direction, Taft’s Vocal Ensemble earned 17 straight superior ratings. As the Visual and Performing Arts chairperson, he helped Taft become a GRAMMY signature school, oversaw all arts programs at the school, and wrote and coordinated the distribution of several grants.
In addition to teaching choral music, Mr. Pease taught orchestra, music history, AP music theory, guitar, and drama. While teaching at Taft he was also the Lead Teacher (12 years), a School Site Council member and chairperson, Technology Coordinator, chairperson for Taft’s WASC Accreditation visit, and a writer for the school’s Single Plans for Student Achievement.
While a teacher, Mr. Pease wrote three musicals, dozens of student video scores, choral and orchestral compositions, band arrangements, and a ballet. Mr. Pease has recently retired to devote himself to composition. His most recent compositions include works for the Italian piano duo, Biondibrunialti (2Play), the Los Cuatro Amigos Sax Quartet (Return to Serenity), the Burbank Children’s Theater company (The Three Sillies), the Alias Brass Company (Gabrieli Dreams), and the Burbank Chamber Society (Generation #1).

Earlier in her career, Marya co-founded the Washington Ensemble Theatre and served as Co-Artistic Director there for five years, leading season planning and new play development. She has worked as a director, writer, producer and actor and is a proud member of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society, Actors’ Equity Association, and the Society of Authors and Dramatic Composers.

She has also been honored with the Genius Award in Theater from the Seattle newsweekly, The Stranger, and has been recognized as an Artist of the Year by Seattle Magazine.
