Music Director Laura DuBois knows no greater joy than sharing the beauty of music with the general public. She is an active recitalist, chamber player, music director and teacher.  She holds a BM in Piano Performance from the University of North Texas, a MM in Piano Performance from the University of Miami, and has completed all but her dissertation for a DMA in Piano Performance and Pedagogy from the University of Miami.  Before coming to Unity of the Valley in 2015, she was the musical director at Unity Church by the Shore in Neptune, NJ, where she had the great pleasure of providing music for the church, as well as directing two performing ensembles. From 2001 until 2015, she was on the faculty at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, NJ, where she taught piano, music appreciation, and music theory, and served as the accompanist for the Music & Theatre Department.  Since 1987, she has enjoyed teaching piano privately, and has maintained a robust studio of aspiring pianists.   Throughout all the years of her career, she has presented engaging and informative chamber music recitals.  She currently resides in Blachly, with her husband, Gary Collins.
