Cindy Cribbins earned her Bachelor of Arts in Music from California State University, San Marcos, and her Master of Arts in Music & Music Education from Teachers College at Columbia University.

 

Cindy’s skill set is varied. She teaches music basics in preschools and general music & theatre in elementary schools. She also conducts choirs of varying ages (children through adult), composes her own works, arranges music, and creates music programs (especially around the holidays). She enjoys teaching music theory, beginning voice, and beginning piano.

 

In addition to her musical endeavors, Cindy writes scripts; from mini plays to full length productions, her scripts have found their way to the stage. Cindy’s first produced play, Who Stole the Cookie and the Cookie Jar?, premiered in Houston, Texas, in April 2022.

 

Cindy believes that learning should and can be fun! Because of this philosophy, she has created several products to help music students learn in an engaging way, including Flip Notes Music and Clip Notes Music, along with a corresponding manual. Cindy also maintains that music, and indeed all the arts, should be accessible to all. This is the ideology that has guided her teaching opportunities over the last decade and that continues to guide her vision today.

Cindy teaches on Wednesday afternoon to evening. Her schedule is quite full.
