“Music is one of the greatest goods available to mankind, with tremendous power for healing and bringing unity. The life of a musician who strives for these ideals is one of discipline, focus, purpose and deep joy. I was privileged to start my life in music under the tutelage of Angela Stevens, who implanted many of these ideals in me. She lit a fire which started my musical pursuits. Angela is a world-champion choir director and music educator with a loving care for all those who are privileged to be taught by her.”
