Mrs. Schiavone was raised in northeastern Pennsylvania, where she was involved in the performing arts and parish music ministry from a young age. She earned her Bachelor of Music in Music Education from Grove City College and moved to Southern Maryland for her first teaching position as Director of Choral Activities at Patuxent High School, where she taught choir, guitar, and AP Music Theory. Her ensembles earned Superior Ratings and state festival recognition during her tenure.

After leaving the classroom following the birth of her first child, she opened a private music studio and continued teaching voice and piano to students of all ages. During this time, she also served as Director of Youth Choirs for the Southern Maryland Youth Choir and taught in local homeschool cooperatives.

In 2017, Mrs. Schiavone became Director of Music Ministry at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in North Beach, where she continues to serve today. Her approach to music education is rooted in the belief that music is a human inheritance meant to be carried beyond graduation, forming students who can participate fully in music in both daily life and sacred worship. She enjoys devotional and narrative writing, particularly on themes related to vocation and motherhood. She and her husband reside in northern Calvert County with their six children.
