About Me

Hi, my name is Ms. Ceste Stanly and I am the Music teacher here at St. Angela Merici.

I grew up in Washington D.C. with my parents and one sister. For elementary school I attended Word Of Life Academy and I graduated from Fairfax Baptist Temple Academy.

I moved to Cleveland in 2015 & married the love of my life CJ in 2022. We have 2 sister calico cats whose names are Rilla & Vera.

I have been teaching music for over 20 years. My favorite part of teaching music is when all the students are singing together, listening to each other, & blending as one voice. It feels like the heavens open for a minute & you get a glimpse of what the angels in Heaven will sound like.

I love swing dancing, cross stitching and old movies with Fred Astaire, Audrey Hepburn and Frank Sinatra.

My Education

I attended Bryan College where I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education , and I received my Masters in Music Education with a Kodaly emphasis from James Madison University.
