Garnet Hayes

Organist

I am the Organist and Choral Accompanist at Columbia Presbyterian Church. I have the honor of working with Jeff Haagenson and other staff members to prepare both organ and piano music for worship services, and I accompany the illustrious Sanctuary Choir on a regular basis. I also work full-time as the choral director at Wy’east Middle School and one of the music teachers at Marrion Elementary School. I completed my Bachelor of Music degree at the Westminster Choir College of Rider University where I was a double major in Sacred Music and Music Education. In my spare time, I accompany ballet classes at Oregon Ballet Theatre, The Portland Ballet, and BodyVox and I take Irish dance classes at Yeates Academy of Irish Dance in Portland, Oregon. One of the things I appreciate most about CPC is the way that our community notices, welcomes, and values every person who steps through our doors.
