"I play as I breathe -- it's simply what I do. I no longer think about it in terms of possibility or probability -- playing the piano is who I am." ~ Cheryl Seely Savage

I have been a member of MTNA (Music Teachers National Association), KMTA (Kansas Music Teachers Association), and MAMTA (Manhattan Area Music Teachers Association). This membership gave my students access to local competitions, performances, and focused preparation for KMTA Music Progressions each spring. I am currently not a member as I pursue my graduate degree.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Marriage and Family Studies with a minor in Music from Brigham Young University.

I am currently pursuing a Master's in Music degree at Kansas State University.
