Mrs. Truax and her husband, Paul live in Jermyn, PA, with their son, Eli. Her love for music began while focusing on instrumental music, playing in marching band, concert band, jazz band, handbell choir, and taking private lessons for over 10 years. During this time she studied piano with Marylee Morton and voice, at the Riverside Academy of Music, with Norma Codispoti. Once at Baptist Bible College, Mrs. Truax majored in Music Education with an emphasis in voice. She studied piano with Margaret Bos and Dr. Larry Kauffman and voice with Dr. David Harris.
