About Turtle Dove Expressions
Turtle Dove Expressions was founded by Kathaleen Hancock Todd. School and church choirs, followed by guitar lessons, developed Ms. Todd’s ear for music. She wrote her first song at age 11 and has been writing songs and music ever since. She loves writing music for youth choirs and is currently working on several projects.

“I love to hear a choir. I love the humanity, to see the faces of real people devoting themselves to a piece of music. I like the teamwork. It makes me feel optimistic about the human race when I see them cooperating like that.”
