Our team.
A note from the director:
I find the most joy working with students in a choir. My goal for each student is to leave our time together with an intense love for music and singing with others their age. I believe when we bring our best, whether in a church, a factory, or a stage, we are participating in worship. The songs we sing occupy a unique place in our minds and hearts, thus I try to be very intentional in my song selection . My goal is to design semesters and shows that focus on a creative theme, teach classic, musical principles, and correct vocal technique in a modern and creative way. I am excited to sing and make beautiful music together!
