Hello! My name is Parker Hollister, and I am so excited about being your child's music teacher this year! I received my Bachelor's degrees from Newberry College in Music Education and Church Music. This will be my 9th year teaching music in District 5 and my first year at LMES. I love working with instruments and letting students play instruments in class as well as project-based learning. I currently am an Assistant for the Chapin High School Marching Band, and play Trombone in the Carolina Wind Symphony based out of Irmo, SC. I have also received my Master's in Educational Leadership from USC. I am originally from the Upstate, where I graduated from Greer High School and am a Clemson fan..(but I did go to USC!) Please let me know if you ever have any questions about music or theatre!

Born into a musical family, Dr. Roberts' birth announcement listed her as a first soprano.  She is eternally grateful that her father did NOT name her "Melody."  For many years she wanted to be a wildlife conversationalist or a journalist, but by tenth grade she had decided that she wanted to sing classical music and attend Converse College.  After graduating from Dreher High School, she did attend Converse as a Milliken Scholar.  There she received a Bachelor of Music Degree with certificates in both Music Education and Voice Performance.  She then attended Florida State University where she received a Masters of Music degree in voice.  She went on to the University of South Carolina and received a Doctor of Musical Arts degree, also in voice.  She has a level one certificate in Kodaly and Orff Music Education and is a 20-year-certified National Board Teacher.  Dr. Roberts married David Gregory "Greg" Crump in July of 2019 and moved to the lake.  She no longer has farm animals but loves to feed the fish!  She will use "Dr. Roberts" at school and is known as "Dr. Roberts-Crump" socially and at Lake Murray Presbyterian Church, where she is Director of Music.  Dr. Roberts completed her "Read to Succeed" class in the summer of 2020 and is home based with HWE, where she teaches on Tuesday, on Monday she is at HEC, and Wednesday-Friday she continues to teach at LMES.
