Christy Sallee

Christy Sallee is a PhD student in Historical Musicology at the University of Florida. She received both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in piano performance from the University of South Florida, and she is active in Central Florida as both a soloist and a collaborative pianist. As a teacher, Christy maintains a vibrant private piano studio and teaches both Applied Piano and Class Piano in collegiate settings. In performing and in teaching, she strives to instill a genuine love of the piano in her students and listeners through the exploration of piano literature beyond the standard repertoire, especially music by women composers. An organic extension of her work at the piano, Christy’s doctoral research is focused on the piano music of fin-de-siècle French composer Mélanie Bonis.
