Courtney A. Oczkowski

 

Courtney Oczkowski has loved music from a very young age. Being raised by a family of Filipino and Polish descent, she was exposed to many different types of music: from Polka to Broadway to Original Filipino. 

By age 3, Courtney began playing the piano.

“Studying piano at such an early age forced me to understand discipline, responsibility, perseverance, and respect for all kinds of music,” she said.

Courtney’s love of music blossomed into a passion for singing. Her musical endeavors have resulted in numerous awards throughout the years including receiving the Michael and Jane Sendzimir Scholarship from CCF.
 
Now a student at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, Courtney studies classical voice performance with the internationally renowned Marietta Simpson.  These studies will help Courtney realize her dream of performing at a world-class level.
