Kevin Fosado
Position: PK-12 choral music teacher
Hometown: Fond du Lac Education: UW-Eau Claire. This will be my first year teaching music as I just graduated in May 2022.
Hobbies/interests: Music has always been a huge part of my life as long as I can remember. I started playing the violin when I was 12 and joined choir when I was in high school. When I was in high school, I discovered that my passion for music was more than just singing in a choir, but to teach others to see the beauty in learning about music. My main instrument is my voice, but I also love to perform with my violin for concerts and at church.
In my free time I like working on home projects, cooking and spending time with my family. I also sing in a choir called Chorale a Nouveau, where I can continue to share my love of singing.
What are you most looking forward to this year? I am so thrilled to teach music here at Plum City and share my love of music with the community!
