Rose Havener is our voice coach.
Some of Rose's first memories are singing with the children's choir at her church growing up, and following her mom to the adult practices where she taught herself how to follow along and read sheet music. Rose later grew up to sing in her elementary school choir, then middle school choir, and later her high school choir under Kay Owens and Pam Wade - both of whom took her to Round 4 in the Texas All-State Choir Competition. She spent a season singing with the Arlington Master Chorale under Randy Jordan as well. Rose is ready to help with anything from choir music to Broadway to pop music, and even jazz. Rose helps students become better musicians by teaching them basic theory, ear training, and sight singing as well.
