Welcome to this Credite Voices entry! Each month, we will ask a question and publish the responses we receive from Credo students, alumni, faculty, parents and extended community. We hope you enjoy these varied responses as much as we did.

“My dad loves to tell the story of how I was absolutely enraptured by Beethoven’s 6th Symphony at age 3. I sat on his lap while we listened through the symphony, and he explained the programme to me—the beautiful sunny day, the people gathering for a celebration, a violent thunderstorm rudely interrupting, and the people coming back together after the storm had subsided. It made a profound impression on me then, and it’s still my very favorite symphony ever. Who says small children can’t pay attention to one thing for a long time?”
-Tim Crouch, Credo ‘11-’14
“My preschool hosted an outdoor concert by local folk singer Sarah Pirtle.
Normally a very reserved child, I danced in front of the stage. By myself.”
-Jessica Corwin, friend of Credo and Blog contributor
“Practicing while my parakeet was sitting on top of my viola.

-Claire Peyrebrune, Credo ‘13, ‘14
“Hearing my mom sing “You Are My Sunshine” while I was going to sleep.”
-Helen Peyrebrune, Credo ‘09
