MyChoirRobes.com About Us
Just who are you guys anyway?
Jon and Robbin Rose started MyMusicFolders in 2002, as a way to help fund the Missoula Community Chorus (which we were crazy enough to start in 2001, check them out: www.missoulachorus.org !). As selling music folders blossomed into a full time endeavor, we had the opportunity to work with a high-end manufacturer and designer to develop a new fabric blend especially for choir robes that brings together the multitude of benefits of bamboo fibers into a super comfortable and long-lasting choir robe. Both of us have been working musicians all of our adult lives. We were always musicians, and sometimes we have been "working" musicians :)
Jon was in a punk band (well, maybe "ska" – he has a trombone and he’s not afraid to use it!) that traveled the NorthWest U.S. in the mid-80’s, Robbin sang light opera and musicals in summer theaters for several seasons. Later endeavors included Jon’s 18 year stint singing in a Madrigal group, drinking lots of port while wearing tights and singing catches. Robbin spent that time working for churches, singing jazz standards on the weekends, and getting an advanced degree in Music Thanatology (prescriptive music for people at the end of life).
We have 2 pianos, 4 trombones, 2 guitars, several autoharps (don’t ask), a 31-string harp, 2 musical daughters, and a dog who can pitch-match! We are thinking about posting a YouTube video of Zuzu, the singing Pomeranian... we’ll keep you updated!
Happy music-making!!!
