Dr. Stephanie Jeter started playing classical music when she was 9 years old living in East Tennessee, however it was when she lived in New York City years later that she was encouraged to discover the traditional music of the Appalachian region.  While living in the culturally diverse community of the International House in NYC, she was surrounded with and inspired by colleagues from other countries who embraced and preserved the traditional music of their own heritage.  When Stephanie returned to TN, she picked up the autoharp and bass, and began to study the traditional old-time string band music of the Appalachian region from where she was raised.  She enrolled in the East Tennessee State University Bluegrass, Old-Time, and Country Music studies program, and was selected to be in one of the top bands in the program, which performed a musical tour in the Czech Republic in 2011.  While in the Czech Republic, she assisted in the instruction of a dance workshop where she shared the traditional dance steps for clogging and flat footing.
