Charity Noel is a Bachelor in Music Education Candidate with a Vocal Performance Certificate. She was born and raised predominantly in Illinois, where she was first introduced to music through Faith Christian Academy in Evanston, IL. During the school day she was an active learner in all music courses. Outside of school, she would partake in the sunshine band, a children’s choral group where she first began to foster her love for singing. Throughout her high school career, Charity was a devout member of the Mundelein Lights Show Choir where she had the opportunity to perform for some of the high level choreographers and coaches including: David Raab, Nancy Bocek, John Neubauer (Director), Cory Thompson and Randy Sage. During that time she earned many accolades including holding and maintaining the title of “Best female soloist in a show” for her entire final season. Charity currently studies music and children’s education. She has been a faithful leader in the Faith Temple Praise team which allows her to minister in song utilizing the Gospel, and contemporary Christian genres. She is, presently, a vocal coach as well as the Children’s Choir teacher at Faith Temple where children in the Evanston and Chicago areas receive weekly lessons to learn vocal basics and explore different aspects of music. After graduation, Charity has many aspirations to remain in Illinois and continue to share what she has learned and cultivated through her years of learning and performing music. She hopes to continue ministering in song and desires to educate and encourage her students to find a passion, even a release in music that has helped her throughout her own life. “Music is extremely powerful and absolutely necessary. It moves where words alone cannot.”
