Jane Robinson

Church Musician
Growing up in California, Jane knew at an early age she wanted to be a concert pianist.  However, apparently, God had other plans for her.  Once she played for Wednesday night Bible study at the age of eight, she knew she wanted to be a church musician.  Jane's home church acquired a Hammond organ when she was 10 and by age 14, she'd become hooked on the organ so much so that she became the church organist. During high school and college she was the pianist for Youth For Christ.  You would think she would want to teach music in school, but no, she wanted to be in the classroom.  Jane began to teach seventh and eighth grade Language Arts in Edison, California, just outside Bakersfield.  The school was located in the middle of orange groves and a grape vineyard.

After marrying Aubrey Robinson and moving to Georgia, Jane taught school in Stockbridge and remained a teacher until retiring in 2007, ending her career in Locust Grove Elementary.

In 1976, Aubrey and Jane moved their membership to McDonough Presbyterian Church and immediately were drawn into the music program.  In 1981, she became the church organist and still serves in that role today.  During her tenure as church organist, she has overseen the installation of two organs. In 1982, the church  upgraded the old Hammond organ with one of the first electronic organs manufactured by Rodgers. The second organ, installed in 2010, is a Rodgers Trillium Masterpiece and has the same voicing as Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France.  This organ was a gift to McDonough Presbyterian Church in honor and memory of church members Bill & Mary Moye and Bob & Jane Foster.
