Music Major Conducts Young Voices in Whitman Youth Choir
|
Millie Atack ’26, a Music (Vocal Performance) major from Seattle, is learning how to bring music to life as a youth assistant for the Whitman College Youth Choir, conducted by Assistant Professor of Music Laney Armstrong. Working with students in grades K–7, Millie helps lead rehearsals, support young singers and build a sense of community through music.
Through her independent study in choral conducting, Millie turns classroom learning into real-world practice each week. By guiding young musicians and gaining hands-on experience, she’s discovering the power of leadership, confidence and connection through the arts.
Watch this video to hear directly from Millie about her experience with the Whitman College Youth Choir.
