Summary

I am very passionate about music and theater and feel it is vital that children have a basic knowledge and appreciation, love for the subject. Like literature, music and theatrical plays can feed the soul and mind. It uses elements of the brain that math and science can't touch.

Acting and singing can help people feel, dream, and, for some (myself included), musical theater can save people. I want to bring the love of music and theater to students by not only teaching musical skills, but also expand it by teaching acting, stage direction, plays, and general theatre.
