Katrina Roberts, a Holmdel High School choir director, reflects on her childhood love for music, juxtaposed with her struggles with stage fright and mental health. Attending a holiday concert ignited her dreams of choir, despite her anxiety. Music became her lifeline, especially during difficult adolescent years. A pivotal moment came when she was encouraged by her choir director to audition for solo opportunities, leading to her joining the Moorestown Madrigals. This experience not only improved her confidence but also fostered a familial bond within the choir that significantly impacted her life.
Choir was always safe for me in terms of my stage fright because I never had to perform by myself, says Ms. Roberts.
It was during this time that I realized just how powerful music could be, Ms. Roberts reflects on her struggles with mental health.
