She also trained privately with actor, Lance Camarillo, and vocalist/vocal coach, Roberta Morales. Eden is currently training with Timothy Birt, a vocal coach and opera vocalist himself.

Sophia Bibb
Sophia Bibb, mezzo/soprano, is currently a junior at North East School of the Arts at Lee High School, majoring in musical theater. She grew up with a passion for singing and dancing independently of each other, learning how to play guitar at age 12, followed closely by piano. Her singing took off with her guitar and piano playing, and shortly after, she discovered musical theater! As she merged her dancing and singing together, she discovered her passion for acting. Since then, she has been working to better her craft, participating in musicals within her magnet program and doing outside community theater within San Antonio. Sophia has been vocally trained for three years in both classical voice and contemporary musical theater, as well as continuing to play guitar and piano and compose original music. She also continues training in dance, consistently attending class for tap, jazz, ballet, and lyrical. .She loves to share her music and is thrilled to have a job where she can meet and inspire kids every day! (And, of course, the children are just adorable… so that's another perk.) Sophia hopes to attend college in New York, where she can independently pursue theater while majoring in biomedical sciences. Ultimately she hopes to end up on Broadway… God willing, of course.
