Winning the prestigious Marilyn Horne Song Competition in the Collaborative Piano Division, Saule was invited by Marilyn Horne to participate in her annual workshop "The Song Continues" at Carnegie Hall in New York for several seasons. She has successfully collaborated in the masterclasses of vocal superstars like Mary Dibbern, Marilyn Horne, Jessye Norman, Dalton Baldwin, Renée Fleming, Martha Gerhardt, Margaret Singer, Warren Jones, and Kenneth Griffith.

Saule's musical journey was deeply influenced by her mother, Roza Tlenchiyeva, a professional Kazakh opera singer and pedagogue. This early exposure to the world of opera and vocal music set the foundation for her future career. After graduating from the Kazakh National Academy of Music (currently Kazakh National University of Arts) and subsequently from the Moscow Conservatory, Saule was invited to study with the celebrated Spanish pianist and pedagogue Joaquín Achúcarro at Southern Methodist University, receiving the Meadows Scholarship Award. While pursuing her D.M.A. degree at North Texas University, she founded and presided over the North Texas Collaborative Pianists Association. She then joined the faculty at Sam Houston State University as a Vocal Coach and Collaborative Pianist.

Saule received professional training from renowned international vocal coaches/accompanists Gulzhan Aidabulova, Natalia Sidorenko, Elvia Puccinelli, Warren Jones and Ken Noda.

Her principal teachers include Altai Kussainov, Alexander Mndoyants, Natalia Sidorenko, Joaquín Achúcarro and Vladimir Viardo.
