The perfect way to kick-off the New Year - an inspiring story with tangible tips, advice, and the inspiration you need to #dothework - whatever that may be for you! In this episode, Dr. Folta shares the story of building “Voices of the Valley,” a children’s choir organization in Columbus, GA. Through the VOV story, we hear about Dr. Folta’s own journey from not being able to read music in college and how that experience informs how she teaches music to her own choir now — more holistically and with real-life applicability.
