Shelley Bilal, Music Instructor

Education: Bachelor of Art in Music Performance, Benedict College
My name is Shelley Bilal and I have been at St. Martin de Porres Catholic School for six years teaching music in grades Pre-K through fifth. I am also the musician for St. Martin de Porres Church’s Gospel Choir.
My interest in music began in the church, youth choir, and at home listening to music of the gospel greats. Later, I became interested in contemporary jazz and spent many years listening to classic jazz. I have been honored to have performed on the platform with many great artists, Aretha Franklin, Gerald Albright, Chaka Khan, Christopher William and The Clark Sister. Beyond being a veteran trombonist, I am also fluent in other performing areas as a pianists, singer, and other brass instruments!
