Amanda Tholen

My earliest memories of music are hearing my maternal grandmother, Cruz, singing me and my brood of siblings and cousins to sleep in her deep, comforting voice while being cradled in her arms.

Becca Myers

My first musical memory is of my grandmother playing her piano while my sister and I sang songs. When I was 6, I began piano lessons and continued for 10 years. I was heavily involved in choir, theater, band and even some color guard from grade school through high school.

Carey Youngblood

I have been involved in music all my life. My mother had 4 children in 5 years and would sing us every song she knew at naptime in order to stay sane! My father played the ukulele and guitar and we would sing all the time – especially on road trips.

Jill Blackwood

Music has been a part of my life since I was born. My parents both loved music and there was always a wide variety of music playing in our house: rock and roll, gospel, the Muppets, and everything in between.

Kerrie Graham

I’ve always been interested in music, and have had wide and varied musical tastes for as long as I can remember. Equally, I’ve enjoyed various performative pursuits throughout my life, including formal music, dance, and voice lessons, school and community choirs, amateur musical theater (ever the ham!), and even college rock bands. I sing constantly, and music is simply a part of my daily existence.

As far back as I can remember, music has been a part of my life. One of my earliest memories is of being in Vermont with my father's extended family and gathering in the living area after a great meal for a jam session.

Vanessa Heilman 

Music has been a constant in my life, at times background, at others foreground, but always there. The foundation was laid for me with my mother’s nightly lullaby ritual, Rafi sing-a-longs in the car on family vacations, and sounds of folk classics from my parents’ vinyl collection.
