About Our Teachers

Our teachers LOVE what they do and are passionate about teaching Music Together® here in Wichita! They bring a high skill and deep passion to their work. You can expect a rich learning experience for your child each week, as well as the warmth, support, and depth you get from our teachers. We can't wait to get to know you and your family! 

All Riverside Family Music teachers have successfully completed the Music Together® teacher training, which is built on research in early childhood and music development. In addition, teachers apprentice for at least one session with another experienced teacher. We keep our skills fresh through workshops every session and advanced trainings offered by Music Together Worldwide.

Krista is "back home" after living in several different states in the past 15+ years. While working as a Board Certified Music Therapist at Tempo! Music Therapy in West Chester, PA, Krista had the opportunity to take her Music Together teacher training at the Music Together Headquarters in Hopewell, NJ in 2014. 

After teaching inclusive and intergenerational classes for a few years at Tempo!, Krista and her husband moved to Philadelphia where she had her first child and became a Music Together participant! She substituted and then taught classes at Enchanted Music Together for a few years until her 2nd son was born and her family moved to Kansas. 

Krista lives in North Newton with her husband and 2 little boys, whom she loves to make music with daily, the more silliness the better! Her favorite things involve being with her family, usually outside. She loves spending time at the family farm where she grew up, working with her brother in the field, camping, riding bikes, working in their garden in their backyard, sewing, baking, and reading books with her boys. 

Krista is thrilled to start teaching again with Riverside Music Together. She has experienced the beautiful community that develops through Music Together classes both as a teacher and a parent. She is honored to help create incredible moments and memories with a new community of families!
