Lori Bonner
Conservatory Education Director
Lori serves as the Educational Director. Her duties are largely built around organizing, administering and teaching the Corona Symphony Conservatory. The Conservatory teaches strings to youth of all ages and skill levels, and is growing to meet the needs of the greater Corona area. She was a founding member of the Corona Symphony, playing French horn.
Lori has taught music at more than twenty of the Corona-Norco Unified School District’s elementary schools and has also worked with students at the intermediate and high school level in surrounding areas. In the process, she has instructed thousands of young musicians. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education, a Master’s Degree in Education, a Teaching Credential in Music, and a Cross-Cultural, Language and Academic Development Credential.
Lori saw the need for having a vibrant string program in the area. In response to this, she began the Corona Symphony Conservatory. Immediately, the program garnered support from students and the community. Her goal is to create a bridge between young musicians, their parents, the community and the Corona Symphony in order to develop a program which both supports the Symphony and benefits from the musical experiences the Symphony offers.
The Conservatory is young, but Lori actively teaches for the day when a child that began at the Conservatory joins the Corona Symphony as a full-fledged professional member. Lori lives in the Inland Empire with her husband Scott, and their children Ryan and Lindsay.
