ENGLISH
“Will you read me a story?” “Will you sing with me?” “Let’s Dance!” These phrases are often heard in my home and I absolutely LOVE it. Everyone loves a good story—they are fun to read and exciting to hear. I also believe everyone loves a good song. I feel that it’s important for every child to have a personal lullaby. – G. Phillip Shoultz, III, VocalEssence Associate Conductor | Director of Learning and Engagement
