4-5-14 Bittersweet Playhouse Sharing

Today was unexpectedly Kat Davis last sharing at the Neighborhood Playhouse Junior School. Kat is a wonderful friend, director, colleague and educator.  She is very supportive of me as a musician and a teacher.  Under her leadership over the past fourteen years, I was able to create many holiday mashups, focus group presentations, explore current pop songs and musical theatre standards.  Students who came to the playhouse that did not want to or like to or refuse to sing are now requesting voice lessons.  Many parents have commented on my site and in person on how much their child has learned at the playhouse.
Thank you Kat from the bottom of my heart!!!
