Blythe Hopson

My name is Blythe Hopson and I am currently in year 9 of teaching! I have been at Manvel since I graduated from the University of Houston (Go Coogs!) I continue to sing professionally with a chamber choir called Cantare Houston, and have previously sung with the Houston Symphony Chorus and the Houston Chamber Choir.


I love to spend time with my family and friends, and I enjoy traveling over the summers! I'm also an avid sports fan, and you can often catch me at an Astros, Dash, Dynamo, or Texans game. I look forward to getting to know everybody better as the year progresses! Hoka Hey!


brady weldon

Hi, Y'all! My name is Brady Weldon, and I am beginning my tenth year of teaching. I've taught both middle school and high school choirs in the Houston area, and I am so happy to be a part of the Manvel choir family! I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University, and am currently working on my master's degree in music education from Texas State University! I love to sing outside of school, composer music for choirs, and currently sing with Ms. Hopson in Cantare Houston, as well as with other choirs around the area. I even pick up a few Jazz gigs here and there!


I love to travel, and spend time with my friends and family! I love to cook, bake and discover new recipes. I'm also a (usually) dedicated runner. I'm a huge nerd, and proudly ascribe to many fandoms, but none more than The Lord of the Rings.
