Welcome to Kristi Campbell Giannini,
Our New Music Teacher!
We are delighted to announce the hiring of a new music teacher, Kristi Campbell Giannini. She'll start on Friday, barring any unforeseen circumstances!

Here is the bio she asked us to share:
My name is Kristi Campbell Giannini and I just moved here from New York City where I taught elementary and middle school music while completing graduate studies at Columbia University. Before living in New York City, I lived in Austria, Chicago, and Minneapolis where I completed undergraduate studies in music and English. In my free time, I love browsing bookstores, exploring new places, cooking with my husband, writing, performing on the violin, and swimming.
