Stephanie Wilson, a native of Charlotte, NC, began her music career at age five on piano where she quickly found her interest and passion in music. 

Ms. Wilson, principal timpanist with the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra and percussionist with the Western Piedmont Symphony, is in high demand as a freelance musician in Charlotte and surrounding areas. She is a frequent performer with the Charlotte Symphony, Opera Carolina, the Charlotte Master Chorale, Opera Wilmington, and many local ensembles. 

In addition to performing, she keeps a full percussion studio of students who uphold her high standards of practice and play—many of whom often participate in All-District and All-State honors bands as well as local honors bands and orchestras.
