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
Lydia Hebdon

Lydia studied Music Therapy at Utah State University and has always had a love for the
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
memories is being a spoon in her junior high production of Beauty and the Beast!
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.
Music, sports, and the outdoors keep her busy and happy, and she loves being part of a
community that values all of them.
Kayci Dunn
Head Choreographer
Although a Wisconsin native, she considers Morgan Valley to be her home and is incredibly grateful to be a part of the MVCC. She and her husband have four awesome kids who enjoy a wide variety of activities, including sports, music, hunting, baking, the outdoors, and raising backyard chickens.
Her musical journey began at age six with private vocal lessons and musical theater performances. That lifelong passion for singing led her from local and state honors choirs to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she pursued a degree in Vocal Performance. She loves seeing the children in the community thrive through music and looks forward to learning and growing right alongside them in the MVCC.
