Interview with Angelina Geinosky

Q: Where are you from?

A: I was born in West Chicago, Illinois and grew up in Warrenville, Illinois. I moved to Plymouth, Minnesota just about 3 years ago.

Q: What is your passion and favorite hobby in life?

A: Singing

Q: When did you start singing?

A: My mom told me that I could sing before I could talk, I

don't know if I was influenced by disney movies, Or it could be my fathers

love of music, All I know is that apparently I have been singing my whole

life.

Q: Who was the most influential person in singing? Any coaches or musical artists?

A: I was really inspired by my choir director Gordon Krauspe. He really helped me discover my true passion of music.

Q: What kind of music were you into? More choir music or did you like to go solo?

A: I was involved in several school choirs and also involved in the Midwest Young artists. One of the things I have learned over the years about my love of singing is that although I love to sing on my own, I enjoy singing much more when I am singing in a choir.

Q: What was your favorite singing part in your choirs?

A: In my choirs I have always been an alto, and I think that’s why I enjoy the choir aspect more then a soprano would, because as an alto I usually sing the harmony.

Q: What do you enjoy most in singing and choir?

A: I really enjoy all the hard work and teamwork that comes along with chorale music because it helped me learn restraint and balance in my singing. (Because in a choir every voice has to blend in with each other.) I just love how people are blessed with the gift of song, and I think it's amazing that (when trained) I can use my voice the same way a person uses any other kind of instrument. Plus- it makes me happy.
