Use this section to get the parent/child taxonomies for a single post being viewed

The above pulls in each of the parents within the artist-discipline taxonomy , which is good, if I want to display them alone without their children.

Terms: Acoustic

Terms: Americana

Terms: Folk

Terms: Music

Terms: Solo

Terms: Solo/One-Person

Terms: Spoken Word

Terms: Storytelling

Terms: Theater

I need to probably display these like this:

Dance: Ballroom, General, Hip Hop, Jazz.

Design: General, Graphic

Will need to figure out how to return the sub categories (artist-discipline) for each parent individually and then loop through all parents assigned to the CPT (artist) being viewed.
