She has served as the President and Director of the Morgan Valley Children’s Choir for the past 7 years, helping young voices grow in both confidence and talent. She spent a year teaching Kindergarten music at Mountain Green Elementary and continues to stay active in the local music scene as the Soprano Section Leader for the Morgan Chamber Choir and a dedicated member of the Morgan Community Choir. Her favorite part of directing is watching kids light up on stage as they discover the magic of musical theater.

She has taught piano lessons for over 24 years and finds great joy in sharing music with others. Her daughter has been part of MVCC for several years, and after watching her perform, Crystal began accompanying the choir and now serves as Assistant Producer for MVCC Musicals. She loves helping children grow their confidence and love for music. Crystal and her husband are raising their two amazing kids in her childhood home in Morgan, surrounded by family.
Kayli Sorensen
Director
Kayli is thrilled to help bring musicals to MES and MMS students. She currently serves as Secretary/Director of the Morgan Valley Children’s Choir. A Morgan native, Kayli fell in love with theater in 4th grade during the MHS production of The Sound of Music and has since been involved in over 20 plays and musicals, including her recent role as Adella in The Little Mermaid. Known to many students as “Mrs. Kay,” she has worked with hundreds of children in the Morgan School District over the past five years. After directing the children's choir for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at MHS, she's excited to continue to help younger students shine on stage.
Rudy & Rachel Cordiero
Music Directors
Rachel and Rudy began their music teaching journey together, offering private lessons while raising their family. After moving to Morgan County in 2020, they were warmly welcomed by the community and began teaching music from their apartment. As their student base quickly grew, it became clear that more space was needed.
In April 2021, they began teaching at 103 Commercial Street in Morgan, where she and Rudy initially served as studio directors for The Piano Place Morgan. In 2023, they purchased full ownership of the studio and launched Morgan Valley Music—an opportunity for Rachel to fully realize her vision of creating a nurturing and inspiring space for music education in the heart of the community. Rudy teaches choir and orchestra at MMS and MHS

arts. She plays violin in the community orchestra and loves to sing; she’s performed with
the orchestra it’s in local productions Lamb of God and Messiah. One of her favorite

When she’s not making music, Lydia works for Morgan County helping with youth
sports. She enjoys hiking, running, traveling, and spending time outside with her kids.
