Mr. Jim Wilson, Wylie East High School Accompanist

Jim is excited to begin his sixth year as the pianist for the Wylie East High choral program! He serves as the pianist at Christ United Methodist Church in Plano, for the Greater Dallas Choral Society, and the choral programs at Wylie East HS, Plano Senior HS, and several other middle and high schools. Jim has accompanied the Texas All State choirs seven times and is the only pianist to have accompanied all four Texas All State Choirs in consecutive years. He plays keyboards for the band Boomtown, performs with several jazz combos, and works nationally as a pianist with vocalists and instrumentalists.

 

He received a Bachelor of Science degree from Texas Christian University and a Master of Science degree from the University of Arizona. He and his wife Amy are proud parents of two daughters and reside in Plano, Texas. When not performing, Jim can often be found in Latin America, his happy spot, as well as assisting and advocating for immigrants back home in the U.S.
