She believes music should be engaging, inclusive, and joyful while providing strong musical foundations that allow every child to grow in confidence and creativity.

These experiences continue to shape her thoughtful and expressive approach to choral leadership.
At Lyrico Youth Choirs, Britney creates rehearsals where young singers feel welcomed, encouraged, and excited to learn. She believes every child deserves the opportunity to experience the confidence, friendships, and sense of belonging that come from making music together. Through quality instruction and a nurturing rehearsal environment, she helps choristers build skills that will benefit them both on and off the stage.
