MUSIC DIRECTION

 
Throughout Elle's experience with Musical Theatre, she's had amazing opportunities to not only sing the music on the page but, in some instances, teach it to others.

Her favorite part of music directing is seeing a cast come together as an ensemble and tell a great story through music. As a singer herself, there's nothing Elle loves more than to create a beautiful product for an audience to listen to, and music direction allows this opportunity ten fold.
