Sydney is a born-and-raised Arizonan who has always been drawn to music. At an early age, Sydney’s parents signed her up for after-school music classes because she just couldn’t get enough music during the day. Once she was old enough to join performance ensembles, she did. In 2010, Sydney joined Terramar Academy of the Arts band and choir, playing flute and singing. She then joined Sandra Day O’Connor High School’s award-winning marching band, playing flute and tuba. Her dedication and passion for music led her to Glendale Community College to pursue a bachelor’s degree in music education, and she is set to graduate in May 2027. 

While attending Glendale Community College, Sydney has honed her musical skills in flute, tuba, and voice, and learned new instruments such as piano, ukulele, and guitar. Beyond musical skill, Sydney’s schooling has taught her many other positive attributes that directly relate to her career here at Rhapsody today. From 5 to 105, she can teach almost all ages with various backgrounds. Sydney believes that “music is for everyone and all are welcome here.” As she continues her journey here at Rhapsody, Sydney hopes to inspire all generations with a love for learning music, just as her teachers and instructors once did for her.
