Stacy Marie Music

Untitled Document Who is Stacy Marie?

An accomplished pianist, vocalist, dancer and songwriter, Stacy Marie Trammell Walker has been performing and ministering on stages across America and Europe for over twenty years. She is the daughter of Larry and Alice Trammell and thus grew up in a family of professional musicians, songwriters, entertainers, authors, missionaries, and worship leaders who functioned in every "office" of the ministry. She was one of four sopranos chosen nationally to be in the NARAS (National Association of Recording Arts & Sciences) Grammy Jazz Choir in 1996, where she performed with Carlos Santana, Jon Secada, Monica, and Arturo Sandoval. The Grammy In The Schools program made this once in a lifetime opportunity possible, where she was a guest of honor at the Grammy Awards, recorded a CD with A&M Records in Los Angeles, California, and was offered a music scholarship to the highly esteemed Berklee College of Music.

Some of her other accomplishments include being a Voice major in the 1995 Georgia Governor's Honors Program, a member of the Georgia All—State Chorus for six consecutive years (the longest any student can participate), a Georgia Honors Chorus participant, and the lead female role in notable off—Broadway productions such as Nancy in "Oliver", Lady Larken in "Once Upon A Mattress", Eliza Doolittle in "My Fair Lady", and Lily in "The Secret Garden". She also performed Carnegie Hall in New York City with the Georgia Youth Chorale in 1994.

Stacy is a local, regional, and national beauty pageant queen bearing titles such as Miss Duluth Princess 1991, Miss Duluth High School 1996, Miss Junior Teen Atlanta 1993, and Miss Cities of America 2nd-Runner up 1993. She has been modeling professionally since the age of 14. She has experience in runway, showroom, print, and commercial modeling, and has worked for clients such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, Intel, MasterCard, Rich's, and Flax, just to name a few.

Stacy started her private piano studies in 1984 with teacher Debra Shilling, where she was a student of classical music, with special emphasis in the Suzuki Method, for over ten years. She also studied jazz piano for a brief period of time with respected instructor Ted Howe who was a professor at Berklee College of Music, Georgia State University, and is a noted jazz recording artist. Her father Larry Trammell, a highly acclaimed and gifted musician, songwriter and worship leader, helped to teach and form her in ways beyond description, and was most influential in her musical, performance, and spiritual education. He is one of her biggest heroes! Stacy is currently studying privately with renowned concert pianist Lusia Glagoleva of Russia, who has a Ph.D. in Piano Performance and Piano Pedagogy.  Stacy recently was awarded the 2009 Jeanne Beile Memorial Scholarship, a prestigious teacher training scholarship presented by the Suzuki Association of the Americas.

Stacy had a 3 year season of training at MorningStar Fellowship in Charlotte, North Carolina (now located in Ft. Mill, SC at Heritage International Ministries), where she attended MorningStar School of Ministry and graduated in 1999. During her studies there, she was a keyboardist and vocalist on their worship teams (as she had grown up doing with her family), and was given the hands-on experience of leading worship teams in both small and large gatherings, as well as ministering in song at their conferences.

While living in Charlotte she became a professional Ballroom and Latin dance instructor and competitor with Fred Astaire Dance Studios, which is where she met her husband, Edgar Walker, on his birthday in September of 1998! They were wed in May of 2001. (Stacy and Edgar had an incredibly unique and spectacular Cinderella theme wedding. It was a remarkable worship experience and an unforgettable prophetic celebration full of symbolism and creativity.) Continuing to excel in dancing, Stacy placed in many regional and national dance competitions with Fred Astaire Dance Studios including 4th place in the Mixed Novice Division at the Southeastern Dancesport Championship in 1998 (her first competition), and 3rd place in Closed Smooth and 6th place in Open Rhythm at the 2004 National Dancesport Championship (her last competition). She became one of the top female dance instructors in the nation, and received the prestigious Gold Freddy teaching award in 2002. She was soon promoted to manage the Fred Astaire studio in Duluth, Georgia, which grew to become one of the top new studios in the nation.  Stacy gave up dancing in November of 2004 in response to the call of the Lord after her father's sudden and unexpected passing. She began doing music and ministry fulltime, picking up the torch where her father left off and running the race set before her fervently. Her husband Edgar still teaches ballroom dancing.

Stacy is currently teaching private Voice and Piano lessons out of her music studio in the Buford/Lawrenceville area near the Mall of Georgia. She sees almost 30 private students on a weekly basis. She also offers an 8-week adult group Music Theory Class periodically. She is the worship leader for the 9:35 ALIVE contemporary service at Oak Grove United Methodist Church in Decatur, Georgia, where she leads the praise band and congregation on Sunday mornings. She has been on staff at Oak Grove since December 2005. She also works as a professional musician for piano and vocal gigs such as weddings, country club luncheons, corporate events, and private parties. Upon invitation she enjoys recording in studio sessions, offering concerts, as well as ministering through music and dance at various church gatherings and conferences. Stacy is on call as a worship leader/psalmist at the International House of Prayer Atlanta, which is a 24-hour worship and intercession missions base located in Lawrenceville, Georgia.  She leads worship at her House Church community gatherings which her parents started in 1994. The Lord laid it on their heart to open up their home and have people come and worship Him and they have been meeting ever since.  Now meeting in the home of Britt and Becca Mooney they are still gathering together to minister to the Lord through song, and hear what the Lord is saying to His people through His people.

Please visit the Ablaze Ministries website for more information on the heart of her family, their discipleship products, and how the Lord is using them to further His Kingdom and encourage intimacy with Him. Stacy also leads worship at a Bible Study led by her grandfather in the faith, 92 year old "Papa" Don Murphy, who truly is a steward of the mysteries of God. A collection of his writings and admonitions can be found online at tareburner.com, his ministry website.

Stacy has a younger brother Cliff Trammell, mother Alice Trammell, and father Larry Trammell---who has now joined the great cloud of witnesses in eternity. He authored 16 Christian books which he completed just hours before he crossed into eternity in November of 2004 at the age of 50. Stacy is one of the key editors for his books, The Highest Calling Of All Discipleship Series, and is grateful for the legacy that he has left behind. He touched many many lives while still in his "tent" on this side of the veil and he is continuing to accomplish much in the eternal realm. His passing was like a seed dying in the earth, which has already borne much fruit in the lives of those who knew him, and will bear even more fruit to be fully revealed in the days and the ages to come. His labors and sacrifice were eternally significant and he has now come to his exceedingly great and precious Reward, the Lord Jesus Himself.

Like her father, Stacy is a gifted and avid Christian songwriter and has completed one album thus far in her recording career. She is currently working on her next original CD project which she released portions of in July 2008. To hear samples of Stacy's songs please visit "Stacy's Music" page.
