My name is Georgia Rose Price; I was born in 1984 in Iowa and grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. At 5 years of age, I started playing guitar and took up an interest in voice. I spent the majority of the first 15 years of my life playing guitar, singing and riding horses. I decided at three, that I would move to California and sing, so at 17, I did just that! I was a performer/teacher with the Oscar Award-winning company, The Young Americans for 6 years, touring all over the world, including Japan, Germany, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Netherlands and all over the U.S. I then created my own chorus program in a Correctional Facility in Southern California and Associate Produced for TLC Television Network and Brand New Entertainment Company. During the season of 2008, I Company Managed two International Music Outreach Tours for The Young Americans, touring in 18 different states across the country. I have been blessed to work with tens of thousands of children of all ages and backgrounds and continue to be constantly inspired by music! I am always looking for the passion within myself and others and striving to find new ways of keeping music in education. All the goodness in my life has come to me through music! For that, I am eternally grateful, and intend to use music to share this joy with others. |

Our Creative Team of instructors is comprised of extremely talented performers who share the desire to teach and touch lives. Each of our instructors has toured the United States, Europe and Asia performing and working with young people through music outreach. In addition to their training in the arts, they have all taken college courses in childhood development and education as a means of being fully equipped to impact the students they work with. We are extremely fortunate to have assembled a group of dynamic young entertainers who understand the big picture. Having had the performance arts positively affect their own lives and afford them certain opportunities; they are ready to “give back.” They all know that exposure to and involvement in the performing arts can have a profound and lasting effect on young people’s lives. Further, our creative team has “hands-on” participation in the preparation of the curriculum and material they are teaching. Thus, they are fully invested in the process and able to adapt the material to fit the specific kids they are working with at the time. |
