| Daniel Tenney.....................Musical Director Daniel has been singing and dancing since age three and has the embarrassing videotapes to prove it. After taking every music class offered at St. David High School, Daniel went on to study music education at the University of Arizona. After his freshman year, Daniel served a full-time, two year mission to South Korea for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His education culminated in an incredibly fun and phenomenally rewarding semester of student teaching at Ironwood Ridge High School. Daniel is currently the "music guy" at his old alma mater, St. David High School, teaching choir, band, and musical theatre. Recently, Daniel has come to the realization that he is, in fact, a composer, having written and performed music in various genres, including rock, pop, solo piano, classical choral, show choir, a cappella, marching band, concert band, and musical theatre. Daniel was also recently named the Show Choir Chair of the Arizona Choral Directors Association. |
