Enrolling in music education at Indiana-Purdue University in Fort Wayne, IN, Mark majored in voice, singing with the University Choir, Madrigal Singers, University Opera and the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Chorus. He went on to Butler University, completing his degree in Music Education and Arts Administration. While at Butler, summers found him volunteering with Bands of America at its Summer Music Games. A wide range of business and education credits have defined Mark's professional career. He has been Development Director for the Indianapolis Arts Chorale, Business Manager at the Indianapolis Men's Chorus, a private voice and piano instructor, and he's served his church as tenor soloist. He also completed an internship with the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Travel work was a natural migration for Mark, and he's worked on both the group and individual sides of the business. Mark's unique blend of experience in the arts and in business makes him highly attuned to performing group needs and superbly able to meet them.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/author\/mark-ferrell\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2744"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2744\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2802,"href":"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2744\/revisions\/2802"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
