About Christina Whitlock, Your Self-Appointed Anytime Piano Teacher Friend:
Christina is a multi-passioned piano teacher with ENORMOUS enthusiasm for the art of teaching. 

Having made the (difficult!) decision to leave her university teaching responsibilities, Christina has shifted some of her focus to sharing pedagogical observations in the most accessible ways possible - including with this Studio Foundations Course!

Better understanding the human-components involved in what we do is the heartbeat of Christina's work.

The Beyond Measure Podcast is a project Christina is wildly proud of, and she delights in the loyal following it has found since launching in 2020. 

In addition to maintaining a large independent studio, Christina manages frequent speaking engagements, one-on-one consultations with studio teachers, and a growing list of desired contributions to this field she adores with her whole heart.
