I grew up studying music. I went to conservatory.

I had teachers in high school to point me in the direction of the University of Indiana School of Music, and after IU, I went on to study at the Academy of Arts in Philadelphia. I graduated in 2006.

I was in the school plays, I did a lot of music. I carried on through university for short films and loads of plays.

I went to the Conservatory, studying piano and singing, up to high school - but I only did four years because I then had to start working, and the jobs were so good that I didn't stop.

I did a lot of commercial and theater work when I got out of school and was living in Dallas, and I moved to Chicago to go through the Second City Conservatory Program.

I had gone to the High School of the Performing Arts in New York City.

I started in theatre. I went to the Boston Conservatory and majored in musical theater.

I studied at the Piccolo Teatro di Milano; I was a theatre actor.

When I was a young musician, the only option available to pursue secondary education in music was to attend a classical conservatory.

I was 16 when I got a scholarship to study classical composition at a conservatory. By that time I had already listened to Scottish folksong with my mother, sung in church choirs, and had sung solo with Benjamin Britten conducting.
