About Christine

Hi, I’m Christine, and I’m thrilled to share my passion for teaching music. After getting married and spending some time in Orange County we returned to NOrCal in 2017. I hold a Master’s in music from the Boston Conservatory and a BM in Vocal Performance from Chapman University.

In addition to teaching piano and voice, I’ve had the privilege of performing with Livermore Opera and various Bay Area a cappella groups, which allows me to bring real-world experience into my lessons. As a member of the California Music Teachers Association, I enjoy preparing my students for the annual Certificate of Merit Exam and helping them achieve their musical goals.

Outside of teaching, I’m dedicated to serving my community and volunteer monthly in the children’s ministry at Cornerstone Fellowship Church. Music has always been at the heart of my life, and I’m passionate about helping my students discover and grow their own love for it!

Book With Christine

“I didn’t want my son to be turned off to piano because of all the practicing. Lots of work but not a ton of play. James brings enthusiasm and joy to the discipline. He picked up my son’s style and personality, and could flow according to my son’s uniqueness/playfulness.”

“My biggest concern is if my kids don’t enjoy and have no progress over a significant amount of lessons time. So far your role as a teacher has been very helpful in making my kids interested & focused on their lessons”
