Dr. Coleman is a highly sought-after clinician throughout the United States, and currently teaches at Oakland Mills High School in Columbia, MD, as well as the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Sara Gaines attended along with her students and served as both Junior Chorus Co-Chair and All-State Coordinator for Choirs. It was a wonderful weekend of learning and music-making!
