In Canyons, students aren’t the only ones who know the apprehension of auditioning for a role or the thrill of a standing ovation. 

 Teachers like Hillcrest High’s RaNae Dalgleish bring to the classroom first-hand experience as professional artists — in her case, as a member of one of the most prestigious choirs in the world. Having a professional life outside of teaching can be taxing but is also personally fulfilling, as Dalgleish attests in the latest episode of Connect Canyons. 

 Whether she’s directing Hillcrest’s award-winning choir or traveling overseas with the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, sharing the love and light of music is a great privilege and her life’s joy.
