Three years ago, Gayle Hall studied
the recorder as a part-time student at
this college.
This summer, she toured France with
a professional musical ensemble.
She is now a permanent member of
Pro Musica, a professional touring early
music ensemble that has been active for
22 years.
After taking a 10-year break from
music, Gayle Hall came to this college
in 2000 with the intent of studying harp-
sichord.
While she studied music, Hall
worked as an independent acupressure
massage therapist.
Professor George Gregory taught
Hall recorder for three semesters then
directed her to Professor Madalyn
Blanchett, who was to replace him as
a recorder instructor after his retire-
ment.
Hall studied with Blanchett privately
for two semesters and performed in the
advanced Early Music Ensemble.
Her last performance with the group
was in May.
Blanchett said Hall had the funda-
mentals of music already established.
Along with her basic knowledge,
her discipline allowed Hall to rise to
advanced recorder, Blanchett said.
Hall played the recorder for five
semesters at this college.

She plays alto, soprano, tenor and
bass recorder, all of which she per-
formed on tour with Pro Musica.
The opportunity to play for Pro
Musica came about unexpectedly.
While studying at this college, Hall
called one of the few early music
instrument repair shops in the country
in Boston and asked about summer
workshops.
She was directed to Dr. Stephen
Rosenburg, chair of the music depart-
ment at the College of Charleston and
director of Pro Musica.
After taking lessons with Rosenburg,
he invited Hall to audition for Pro
Musica.
Hall practiced four to six hours a day
in preparation for the audition.
"I grew as a musician; my playing got
better. It pushed me i
