Growing up, I was the type of kid always drumming on the table with my fork and dancing in the kitchen. Sure, I played sports (not well), but I had this internal rhythm and desire to make music. To this day, my wife says my brain is 80% song lyrics.
After teaching vocal music for 14 years, I started Talent Rising to expand kids' positive encounters with music. I want to create a clear path for kids to pursue show choir.
