About
Offering private music lessons both in person and online: Flute, Recorder and Piano.
I am both a professional musician and a professional educator, with a current Vermont state educator’s license for teaching music to preK-12th grade students. I am the band director at CVU High School, and I have spent the last 15 years teaching music, chorus, band and adaptive music in public schools; before that I spent many years performing professionally as a flutist and teaching flute, piano and voice students of all ages. I hold a Master’s of Education from the University of New Hampshire, a Master’s of Instrumental Performance from Bowling Green State University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Messiah College.
I love teaching music and learning alongside my students! I believe music instruction should be accessible to everyone, and celebrate and embrace diversity in all its forms. I strive to be anti-racist, an LGBTQIA+ ally, and am always working to expand my understanding and implementation of neurodivergent-affirming practices.

Christina Kelsh is an outstanding flutist and overall music teacher. This is shown by her ability to shape her teaching around each students strengths and opportunities for growth. She cares for each student while challenging them to do better.She was my first private lesson teacher. I have now been playing flute for 19 years. I cannot recommend Ms. Kelsh enough.

I have known and worked with Christina for almost 20 years. I find her to be an outstanding musician who connects very well with children of all ages to make music learning fun while giving her students a solid grasp of music theory, instrument technique, reading, and performance. With Christina, music and sharing her knowledge of the arts are a passion and a calling. We have shared many student experiences over the years as fellow public music educators and I recommend her very highly. Simply put, she is a wonderful teacher and human being.
