About Betty Prezzy Bryant

"Betty is the heartbeat of the Institute of Music for Children. She has dedicated her life to bringing the joy of music to children who otherwise not be able to experience the arts. She has built this community.”

Alysia Souder, Executive Director of The Institute of Music for Children

 Although she is a pastor’s wife, was employed outside her home, and served in several positions of responsibility in her church and the Presbytery of Elizabeth, Betty Prezzy Bryant’s heart has been with the Institute of Music for Children for a generation.

In 1987, Betty Prezzy Bryant became a member of the Third-Westminster Presbyterian, which founded the Institute in 1994, serving on several leadership positions at the church. An alumnus of South Carolina State University, Betty taught in the Newark Public Schools for 31 years. 

Betty has been involved with the work of the Institute since its inception. Realizing that the job was too big for the church to handle alone, the Institute was incorporated in 2003. Betty has served as

president for sixteen years and has been the lifeblood of the organization.
