Jennifer O'Reilly
Director of Beginning & Intermediate Handbells
Jennifer O'Reilly knew that she would be a music teacher when she was nine years old. Her love of school, singing, dancing, playing the French horn, and acting has always been a part of her life. She is currently in her 30th year of teaching elementary music in Loudoun County, having opened the music room doors of Arcola Elementary 20 years ago. Jennifer is an active member of the Arcola United Methodist Church Music Ministry, singing in the Alleluia choir, playing handbells in Grace Ringers, directing the Melodious and Faith Ringers, & choreographing and directing a variety of musicals with the Arcola Players.
When Jennifer is not teaching music, you can find her teaching dance (ballet, tap, musical theatre) as well as directing & choreographing all of the productions at Rhythm and Arts Center of Virginia. Jennifer is blessed with a beautiful family with her husband Tim and three daughters, two stepsons, one stepdaughter, one son-in-law, and her first grand-daughter on the way. When she is not on the stage or vacationing at her favorite place, Walt Disney World, you may see her walking her very adorable (and very loud) beagles: Bentley, Bonnie, and Baeleigh.
