She shall have Music wherever she goes.

Bethany has been working at Piano and Vocal training for several years now. Thanks to her Grandma Nickel, she has the opportunity to develop some of her God given talents in this area. Her teacher, Lindsey Nagy, has been a wonderful match for her and we're excited to see what the years ahead hold for Bethany. She has been involved in Future's Fest two years now and did well both times, recieving a silver and this year, a gold, for her efforts. She's had opportunties to sing in West Edmonton Mall, the Parlament Buildings, at various ministry venues and prestigous Nickel home.
She boldly joined a youth choir tour inspite of the fact that she knew NO ONE in the group. She tried out for a solo part and got to sing solo and duet parts in the tour. (Her first trip out of town on her own)
She's learned to play piano for herself as she sings this year. This impresses her mother, if no one else.
She's doing well for her age and is trying different styles of music. Everyone agrees that her stage presence needs some work, she needs to move more. Still it moves her mother's heart to she her follow a dream that I would have loved to follow myself. I don't know how long or how far she will go with this but it's wonderful to watch the flower unfolding. Can you hear that we're proud of her?
