Private Music Lessons in Stuart, FL & Online
Voice, Piano, Guitar & Ukulele
I'm Kristina Costello, a professional soprano and certified K–12 music educator. My background includes professional performance, public school music education, and private teaching since 2018. I offer private lessons for upper elementary students, teens, and adults, from beginners to advanced musicians.
I hold a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from New England Conservatory and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Vocal Performance from Carnegie Mellon University. I perform professionally in opera, musical theatre, concert, contemporary, and sacred music, and I bring that experience into my teaching. I want students to enjoy making music while learning to do it well.
Based in Stuart, Florida, I teach students throughout the Treasure Coast and online. I am also a Step Up For Students Direct Provider.
