Even within the field of music, his diverse skills have found outlet in a wide variety of venues: singing opera and all sorts of classical music; playing piano, organ, accordion, penny whistle\u2026; leading choirs of all sorts; teaching people of all ages how to improve their singing; composing music for choirs and churches.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/balzerdesigns.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341c766153ef01b7c72017b3970b-popup\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341c766153ef01b7c72017b3970b img-responsive\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"Birds on Wire Quilt\" src=\"https:\/\/balzerdesigns.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341c766153ef01b7c72017b3970b-500wi\" alt=\"Birds on Wire Quilt\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nCarl developed a love of making things as a child, but serious pursuit of visual art had to take a back seat to his musical education early on. Finally after finishing his Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the Eastman School of Music, Carl found himself with enough free time to go in search of hobbies to balance his life.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/balzerdesigns.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341c766153ef01bb07c4e183970d-popup\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341c766153ef01bb07c4e183970d img-responsive\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"Johengengraffiti4a\" src=\"https:\/\/balzerdesigns.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341c766153ef01bb07c4e183970d-500wi\" alt=\"Johengengraffiti4a\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAt various times he\u2019s thrown himself into working with, teaching, and writing about polymer clay, crocheting, and several forms of paper arts.
