CLEARFIELD, UT — Music has always been a part of Don Wood’s life. As a child, he sang and played piano, and even learned to play pipe organ at the Tabernacle in Temple Square.
Wood kept his love of music as he became a father of seven, but while he saw plenty of opportunities for his children to play sports, he found nothing to engage children musically.
When Wood, 58, became mayor of Clearfield, he decided to change that.
“We wanted children to be able to express themselves through music, give them the opportunity to learn parts and music theory,” Wood said. “We also wanted to give them an opportunity to perform in the community and showcase their talents.”
