Singers of Summerville

Emily Reeves Bohl is the Director of Choral Activities at Berkeley Center for the Arts at Goose Creek High School. Choirs under her direction have consistently received superior ratings in adjudicated settings and have recently performed at the annual conferences of both SCACDA (2023) and SCMEA (2024). Emily serves on the SCMEA Choral Division All-State Committee, and as the SCACDA Chairperson for Treble Repertoire and Resources and Conference Performing Choirs. She has served as a guest conductor and clinician in various settings, and is active as a presenter, especially in the area of the Kodály concept and its applications to Choral Pedagogy. In October 2024, Emily was presented with the Emerging Scholar Award by SC ACDA for outstanding contributions to choral music in South Carolina in under ten years of service, and she was recently selected as the recipient of the 2025 SCMEA Outstanding Young Music Educator Award. Outside the classroom and away from the podium, Emily maintains an active performing schedule throughout South Carolina. She can be heard regularly as staff soprano at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, and with the ensembles of The King’s Counterpoint. Emily holds the Bachelor of Arts in Choral Music Education from Charleston Southern University, the Master of Education in Administration from The University of Oklahoma, and the Master of Music in Kodály Pedagogy from Holy Names University, where she was recipient of the Logan Fellowship in Education.  Emily is delighted to follow in the footsteps of her beloved mentor, Dr. Valerie Bullock; and esteemed colleague and friend, Maestro David A. Richardson, to lead the Singers of Summerville.
