She loves to read, sew, cook, remodel, and play with her grand babies. She has been a church pianist since she was 14.

Mr. Fults is a native of the Gaylord area and completed his undergraduate studies, and was a distinctive music scholar, at Saginaw Valley State University. He graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Music Education (K-12) and Sociology. During his time at SVSU, he was very involved in the music department and participated in several music ensembles (both instrumental and vocal), helped with outreach programs, taught community music programs (jazz, choir, and steel band), and worked in the sound/ light booths for various university and community events. He has returned to Northern Michigan to teach K-12 music and drama at Concord Boyne, and is an active performer throughout the state. Currently he still teaches lessons in various instruments, performs with the East Shore Wind Symphony (Standish, MI), the Up North Big Band (Petoskey, MI), and various other groups. Mr. Fults enjoys teaching students how music can affect every part of our daily lives. Students won’t be surprised to hear various different types of music coming from his classroom. He hopes this will inspire the students, and also showcase the different ways they too can perform and enjoy the gift of music.
