She has also studied voice under the tutelage of Frances Brockington, Director of Vocal Music at Wayne State University. Penny has traveled throughout the state of Michigan singing with various bands. She won first place in, "Your Turn to Shine," a talent contest, sponsored by Detroit's WJLB radio station.
