Teaching Music is a Family Affair

February 20, 2012 by Richard Allen Roe Leave a Comment

RALEIGH, NC — Meredith Clayton is 29 years old, but she still sometimes goes to work with her mom.

And her mother-in-law.

All three are high school choral instructors in Wake County public schools. And all three are leading their choirs to the exclusive, invitation-only Presidents Day Festival Chorus at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., on Monday.

“It’s nice to have someone who understands …” Meredith began as the three sat in a Raleigh coffee shop on a recent Wednesday.

“Understands what it took to get there …” her mom, Diane Covington, added.
