J.P. Kentros is always excited to collaborate with his fellow music educators, and constantly goes out of his way to find ways to perform in exchanges, combined concerts, or even just to clinic each other’s students.

While Kentros looks forward every day to the challenges that arts education, directing choir, and coaching voice brings, he remains most proud to be a husband to Anni, and a dad to Danny and Audrey.
