Episode 30: Writing Musicals with Elaine!

Elaine Pechacek writes musicals! She is also an outstanding singer, vocal coach, musician, teacher, and business owner. To produce your own musical, you have to wear a lot of hats (often, all at the same time)!

Elaine started writing the occasional song every now again. Over time, her interest and passion grew. She has now written and co-written full blown musicals! Listen as Elaine speaks about the gift of music and creativity. Get ready for a journey!
