NEW HRMS CHORUS TEACHER | HRMS has a new Chorus and General Music Teacher! We are thrilled to introduce Zachary Leach.

He considers himself a multifaceted musician, as he is an active singer, composer/arranger, and pianist. His work reflects a commitment to both artistic excellence and pedagogical innovation, integrating performance and creative practice within the choral arts. We are looking forward to Mr. Leach joining the Danvers Performing Arts team.
