Senior Nicole Leonard has had a passion for singing and is known school wide for her beautiful voice and her talent. She doesn’t remember the defining moment but she began singing at a young age because she found it fun. Her favorite type of music the singer-song writer genre and she enjoys singing pop music.
Since the second grade, Leonard has been a part of chorus programs. She uses it as a fun stress reliever to forget about what is going on outside of the chorus room.
“[My favorite thing about chorus is] the friends I have made cause everyone has the same sense of fun and we all like the same things,” said Leonard.
For the last chorus concert, Leonard had a chance to showcase her talent not only through singing but also by conducting a piece for the concert. She conducted the song, “I Loved All Lovely Things.”
“I chose a song that I did at All-state and the words behind it had something to do that closely related to my life so it was a really touching piece to do,” said Leonard on her song choice. It was a fun experience for her and she enjoyed the connection she felt to the song.
Leonard is planning on attending the University of Central Florida to further her study of music.
“My sister goes there and I like their music department and the location of it in Orlando,” said Leonard on why she chose that particular school.
She plans on pursuing and studying music education as she attends college.
“I grew up with really good chorus teachers and so it drove me to chorus,” said Leonard.
She wants to be a high school chorus teacher in order to inspire future students to follow their passion of chorus.
