Paul Faulkner Profile

There were five boys in our family and all of us were taught to sing and we each learned an instrument at an early age because our mom was a piano professor on the collegiate level for over 40 years. All of us were active in music through high school and college but I was the only one that pursued music, teaching choral music and band as well as serving as music minister in several churches during my 38 years of music education and music ministry, both here in Chattanooga and Tampa, FL.

Paul Faulkner Profile (Continued)

My stints in Chattanooga were on the music faculty of Tennessee Temple University; Music Associate at Central Baptist Church of Hixson; and 17 years as high school choral teacher and assistant band director at Chattanooga Christian School.

My lovely wife Diana and I have been married 53 years and we have been blessed to have three incredible adult daughters and five wonderful grandchildren and one great grandson!

Retired and living in Harrison, I enjoy playing golf at Bear Trace Golf Course, spending time with my family on the lake, reading, and helping my wife beautify her floral displays on our patio. Musically, I am honored to be conducting the Chattanooga Community Orchestra, serve as a backup director for the Brainerd Baptist Church orchestra and choir, and a recent member and sing baritone in the famed Choo Choo Chorus!
