Cecilia Shutt serves as the 6th Grade and 7th Grade Treble Clef Vocal Music Director at Timberline Middle School in the south-feeder of the Waukee Community School District. In this role, she works to instill in her students not only the musical know-how, but the passion and skills to be life-long musicians. She directs the 6th Grade Choir, the 7th Grade Treble Clef Choir, directs the 7th grade show choir "En Fuego", instructs group voice lessons, and co-directs OPUS auditions for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students alongside Mr. Fakler.

Cecilia holds a Bachelor’s of Music Education from Luther College, and is certified to teach K-12 music, band, and choir. 

Prior to teaching at Waukee, Cecilia taught K-12 vocal music at Gladbrook-Reinbeck Schools in Reinbeck, IA for eight years and spent the last school year at Timblerline Middle School. She loves to foster a love of music in students of all ages. In addition to directing show choir, she assists with the Spring Musical - a true passion of hers is seeing students grow and thrive on the stage. She is excited to be back working with the wonderful students, staff, and community in Waukee.

As a choir director, she obviously enjoys singing and listening to all kinds of music. She also keeps busy by crafting (mostly crochet), reading and her new favorite hobby - obsessing over sports teams. She enjoys the outdoors and traveling to new places. She comes from an education family. All members of her immediate family (mom, dad, brother, herself) work in public schools.
