After over 20 years of providing a music in schools program at various primary schools in Canberra, Jo Cresswell is transitioning to retirement.  The program provided by Celtic Arts Agency is transferring to Katrina Rivera and her music teaching business Katrina Rivera Piano (Music in Schools).

Katrina previously worked for Celtic Arts Agency at Majura Primary school for 10 years as a piano teacher.  As a result, she understands the logistics of the in-school instrumental lesson system well.  She is strongly committed to building the love of music through appropriately pitched lessons that build knowledge and skills, and are FUN.  Katrina will work with our current piano and guitar teachers to continue to provide lessons at both Majura and St Joseph’s Primary Schools.

Katrina will be engaged in the administration of the program, including liaising with schools, booking rooms, timetabling students, managing waiting lists and invoicing, and following up on term fees for piano and guitar lessons.
Her best contact number is: 0466 559 347
Email: KRPMusicInSchools@gmail.com

For a few months, whilst the transition takes place, all emails sent to musicfun@jocresswell.com will be automatically forwarded to Katrina, before being closed.

Jo, being a fit, active and adventurous person, will be concentrating on other aspects of her business as she steps back.  These include bi-annual music and walking trips in both France and the Himalayas, and annual singing and walking trips in the Kosciuszko.  (You can find details of these on her website jocresswell.com)

Katrina is looking forward to continuing to provide much needed exposure to the arts and music to primary aged children to build well rounded individuals.
