About the Artists
Faith Rhodes began taking piano lessons at the age of eight. Because her family was in the military and moved often, she had the opportunity to learn from a variety of piano teachers. God used this experience to develop in her a wide range of techniques and styles, as well as excellent sight reading and ear training abilities. Desiring to use her talents for the Lord, she has toured the country as a pianist for a Christian college singing group, been the church pianist at multiple churches, and given lessons to many young people in order to help train the next generation of church musicians. Her passion is to glorify God through her music, using it as an expression of worship and praise to Him.
Dylan Rhodes developed a passion for music at an early age. He began taking piano lessons from his mom at the age of five, and quickly realized this was something he enjoyed. He has continued lessons with an excellent local teacher, Sara Rhodes, and has won multiple competitions recently. Dylan also plays the saxophone, clarinet, and oboe in church and high school bands.
