Her leadership puts them on the righteous path.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The student performers she leads have showcased their talents at malls, nursing homes, fire departments, commencement ceremonies and at Coral Gables Baptist Church.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWorking with students, teaching, performing and making music together with them has been the highlight of my career,\u201d said Steele, who has a bachelor\u2019s degree in music from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pba.edu\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Palm Beach Atlantic University<\/span><\/a> and a master\u2019s degree in music from the University of Miami.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last concert she\u2019ll oversee will take place on April 24 at 7:30 p.m. at Coral Gables Baptist Church, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5501 Granada Blvd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe takes a lot of time and dedication to construct a show,\u201d said Anthony Barrios, who has taken four sight-singing classes with Steele and was part of the North Star Singers in the fall and the College Choir last spring. \u201cShe doesn\u2019t make these performances about her, she makes [them] about us, for us to sound the best we can for our audience. Because of her hard work we want to work harder.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steele\u2019s passion for music began in Alexandria, Virginia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was just always there in me,\u201d Steele said. \u201cI would always sing as a child, be part of choirs and study music as I grew up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She applied to work at MDC after graduating from UM.
