About The Instructor

Elizabeth Antley is delighted to be broadening her ministry with Saint Mark’s Cathedral in the role of Early Childhood Music Teacher!

Saint Mark’s has made a profound impact on Elizabeth and her family since they first attended services, in consideration of their move to the Seattle area, in late 2019. Elizabeth and her husband, Angus, were immediately captivated by the world-class musical offerings at Saint Mark’s, and each member of their family have become active parishioners since their two sons joined the Choir School in 2022.

In addition to Elizabeth’s work as a writer, she is a multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter and producer, and spent nearly 10 years developing and leading an interactive music education program for families, in London, UK, called School of Rock-a-bye Babies. It brings Elizabeth profound joy to make, share, and connect through music with very young children and their parents/caregivers! She is honored to be part of the team bringing this new musical offering to this beloved community.
