Trayc Foskett
A native of South Dakota, Trayc Foskett has a wide
variety of experiences in her musical belt. While growing
up in Sioux Falls, she was heavily involved in church
choirs, show choirs, and nationally acclaimed concert
choirs. Her college concert choir was one of three international
choirs to be chosen to perform in the finale performance
at Carnegie Hall's Mozart Festival with the Metropolitan
Opera Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Peter Tiboris.
Individually, Trac has had experience as a featured
soloist and a member of numerous small ensembles.
Professionally, Trayc taught individual voice and piano
lessons for eight years. She received her degree in
Vocal Music Education with a minor in piano from Northern
State University in Aberdeen, SD, in 1994. She went
on to accept a teaching position at a college preparatory
boarding school for girls in Colorado. She left the
school in 1996 and pursued other opportunities in Christian
radio. During this time she was also Worship Leader
for her church, began a youth choir to perform on Sunday
mornings, and served as piano and voice instructor to
families in the extensive home school network in Norfolk,
NE.
Marrying Scott in 1997 brought her to the Los Angeles,
CA, area where she continued to be vocally involved
in church choirs and worship teams. This involvement
continued in Redding, CA, as well as serving as Retreat
Worship Leader for women's retreats. For the past few
years she has taken a self-imposed hiatus from teaching
to be a mom to her two sons, ages 4 and 17 months, to
whom she enjoys passing on her love of all things musical.
