Erin Keller
I sang in a children’s choir growing up, and it was hugely transformational to me.
I believe every child deserves the opportunity to sing in a choir.
I HAVE A VISION.
My vision is that every child in the KCMO and KCKS School districts has the opportunity to sing in a children’s choir two days a week after school for two hour rehearsals in a safe space that encourages intellect, creativity, physical and social awareness, community building and service, problem solving, critical thinking, authentic cultural learning, confidence, and respect: and all through the beautiful power of singing in a children’s choir.
