Christina O'Brien has been teaching music in the classroom since 2009 and before that she was a private piano teacher at her studio, Creative Keys. With experience in both teaching environments, Christina has managed to blend the individualized approach with large group instruction in the classroom. Her goal is to create an inviting and exciting learning space where every musician has an important part to play. Christina has her B.A and B.Ed from the University of Calgary and she also completed the James Hill Ukulele Initiative teaching program in 2020. James Hill then helped her publish the "Ukulele for Children" series starting with Book A in 2021 and Book B in 2022. She is passionate about teaching music literacy skills to young students, and building community through music. Christina is also an avid runner and fitness enthusiast, and can often be found sneaking squats and lunges into her music lessons at school.
