For Trudi, music is synonymous with family and community. Holidays were spent around the family piano singing, dancing and making music. Trudi took piano & guitar lessons as a child, and studied musical theatre as a teenager. As she raised her family, Trudi enjoyed singing with her community choir, and passing the gift of music to her children.
