Hello, Miss Chris!

We at Studio3Music are tickled to announce that Chris Welton has joined our staff! Miss Chris will be teaching in Redmond on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. She is an experienced teacher and Kindermusik mom, and we know you’ll love her, too. Here is a little bit more about Miss Chris:

Along with the tap, ballet and jazz dance lessons that she took as a young child, Miss Chris was the coach of her (imaginary) dance troupe that met several times a week in her living room.  Her parents quickly recognized her love for music and encouraged her to develop her talents throughout her life.  She has taken formal lessons in piano, French Horn, and voice, and is a (self-proclaimed) world-class kazoo player! 

Miss Chris was seemingly destined to work with children.  From being the neighborhood’s favorite babysitter, to reading with young children in school, to volunteering with Bellevue Youth Theatre, the times that Miss Chris has felt the most like “herself” have been in sharing her love and laughter with children. 

 In high school, Miss Chris had a defining moment when her classmates were asked to pick an animal that best described her.  The emphatic consensus was that she was a “mother bear” – nurturing, playful, and protective of the children she always seemed to have around. 

Miss Chris graduated from City University with a degree in K-8 education and taught at a local Montessori school, working with children all the way from pre-K through 5^th grade.  In addition to her teaching duties, Miss Chris helped direct the school’s annual performing arts recital for multiple years. 

Since then, Miss Chris and her husband Kevin have had a darling little “bear cub” of their own.  Miss Chris and her daughter currently attend Kindermusik classes through Studio3Music and love the balance of developmentally appropriate play, music, and education that they receive every week. 

Miss Chris is thrilled to be joining the family here at Studio3Music, and looks forward to taking a fun-filled journey with you and your little ones! (If you’re lucky, she might even play the kazoo for you.)
