Trina has been involved as a parent with MYC since March 2023. Growing up in a musical family that sang all the time both as a group and with various choirs, she is passionate about the positive influence that music and singing has on children, young people (and adults too!). She was impressed by the power of the Kodály concept that MYC uses to teach music literacy and thus was inspired to join the board in October 2023, bringing her passion and experience as secretary for other committees to help MYC's impact grow!
