Meet Our Teachers

Crystal is the violin teacher at The Anthony School, and a violin, viola, and Music Together teacher with Hillcrest Family Music.

​

Crystal knows that not all her students are going to go on to become professional musicians- and that's ok! Her goal is always to support a positive relationship with music and playing. She encourages families to make music together as often as possible, and for adults to find ways to play with others.

 

She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Music from the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University and has performed as a violist with the Arkansas Symphony, Conway Symphony, the Hampton Roads Philharmonic, and the Jamestown String Quartet.

Dr. Christa Kuebel is an associate professor of music education at University of Central Arkansas and early childhood music educator. 

 

She has taught choir, band, and general music for students in preschool through junior high in Arkansas, Ohio, Illinois, China, and Poland.

 

Christa has taught music to children birth-age 5 for over a decade and loves connecting with kids and grownups through these classes!
