In an age of unprecedented technology and digital connectivity, I value how choral music connects people face to face.

​Yet I also want to show how we can utilize technology within the art.
I believe rehearsals should incorporate multi-faceted approaches to learning about musical notation, basic harmony, history, and a varied repertoire. 
I believe rehearsals should contain structure, pacing, professionalism, and laughter. 
I believe music is a conduit to reach people, both singer and listener, and I strive to create meaningful rehearsals that generate meaningful performances.
