Director & Instructor

Kelsey discovered Music Together 9 years ago while living in the DC area and has never looked back. A native of Idaho, Kelsey graduated from Weber State University in Utah with a bachelor’s degree in musical theatre. While at university, she studied music theory, vocal performance, acting, and multiple dance genres. A talented vocalist, actor, and dancer, Kelsey has since worked in theatres all over the country, performing in close to 50 lead and supporting roles, as well as serving as director and vocal coach.

When she isn’t performing on stage, Kelsey has had the wonderful opportunity to instruct children of all ages in music, art, theatre, and dance. Trained and educated in choreography, improvisation, piano, and ukulele, she draws on her artistic background to create an engaging and imaginative learning experience for her students.

Kelsey is very excited and grateful to now have her own Music Together center in Eastern Idaho. Her mother and father often claim that she was singing before she could talk, and dancing before she could walk!  Kelsey is honored to now be able to nurture this love of the arts in children in Music Together classes.
