“Sonya McKinley has a natural musical talent. She sings: she plays, she writes . . . She has an ear for unique chord structures that mesh with heart-felt lyrics. Add to that her diligent work ethic, and you get ‘the whole package’. God has blessed Sonya with a gift, and she continues to use that gift to bless others.’’

Sonya’s teaching style sparked a life-long passion for music in my life. Her practical approach and caring guidance prepared me for a myriad of challenges both on the piano and off. After 12 years of being a full-time Worship Pastor, I can say that I am so thankful Sonya invested in me!

This letter is to recommend Ms. Sonya McKinley as a person of high character, strong intellect, and extraordinary musical ability . . . gifted piano player, singer, songwriter, voice coach, and choir leader. Ms. McKinley excelled as our minister of music on a weekly basis, led and arranged rehearsals, composed and performed an original theme song for our radio program, and prepared exceptional Christmas programs . . . interacted well with our singers and musicians, demonstrating a conscientious commitment to excellence and notable administrative skills. I also observed that she has a gift with (and a genuine heart for) children.
