Erin Pickering has always had a heart for music. Some of her fondest memories have been using anything and everything as a microphone in front of a make-believe audience and occasional visitors to the house. Erin started taking piano lessons at age 5 and voice lessons at age 11. Her first live performance was on stage when she was 6 years old singing a solo in the church musical. Erin has thrived off of performing in front of people and has challenged and trained her God-given talent through education and teaching others. She continued her education in high school and college in both voice and piano. |
