Highly acclaimed singer teaches piano and voice!

About Me

Kristin has been teaching piano and voice for over ten years. Most recently she was on the faculty at the International Opera Center of America where she taught piano for singers. Kristin taught both group and private lessons at the MusicTime School in San Francisco, CA where she was best known for her innovative work combining fun activities with learning, creating an excitement for music in many young piano and voice students.

Kristin began her piano studies at the age of 3 and her ... vocal studies at 10. Kristin's most recent success as Florence Pike in the opera Albert Herring was produced by Maestro Lorin Maazel with the London Royal College of Music at Chateauville, VA. The company subsequently replicated some of the opera, in a concert version, with Marvin Hamlisch at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Last year, the mezzo-soprano was a Resident Artist with the International Opera Center of America where she dazzled the audience in the title role of Carmen and sparkled as Alisa in Lucia di Lammermoor.

Kristin was first recognized as a youngster with an extraordinary voice. By thirteen, she had developed to a performance level that merited an invitation to tour throughout Germany. Following High School graduation, Kristin received a scholarship to attend Oberlin Conservatory. She completed her Bachelor of Music Degree in Voice Performance at Oberlin and then obtained a Master of Music Degree from San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Kristin then joined the Central Florida Lyric Opera's young artist program in Orlando and began studying with Maestro Bill Doherty.

Early in her career, Kristin was honored to be chosen as an Apprentice Artist with Des Moines Metro Opera and debuted in the leading role as

Miss Baggott in The Little Sweep by Benjamin Britten. In 2007 Kristin toured Italy in a concert production by Il Sempre Magico Baule, the Italian Opera Company based near Milan. Her performances were so successful that she was called back to perform the Pergolesi Stabat Mater with the company which garnered the highest critical acclaim and played to sold out audiences. Kristin returned to her scenes of triumph for a summer 2008 concert tour with La Scala artist Andrea Elena.
