Suzanne Zak, a pianist and educator, came to NWPC in 2008.  Her musical journey started at the age of six.  After hearing the pianist of a touring musical group perform at her childhood church, she knew music was her calling, specifically the piano.  Pursuing that passion, she received her B.S. in Music Education from Cairn University and her M.M from SUNY Purchase college in piano performance.  Suzanne recently received her Doctorate in Music and Music education at Columbia University, 2015.  At NWPC, she enjoys directing the Sanctuary choir, special music, the yearly Christmas Cantata and the occasional festival handbell choir. She also plays keyboard for the contemporary worship team.  Suzanne enjoys the diversity of the church’s music, both traditional and contemporary, allowing one to experience worship in a variety of ways. Having performed many solo piano recitals as well as piano concertos, Suzanne continues to perfect her pianistic skills. As a music educator, Suzanne specializes in higher education, music e-learning, teaching online music at Adelphi University. Suzanne and her husband Steve recently welcomed a daughter, Alexandra, to their family.
