Crystal McDougall
Crystal McDougall is a professionally trained singer and certified preschool teacher with an extensive background in early childhood education. Music calls to her deeply. She joined her first choir at the age of 7 and was immediately hooked. At 17 she began training in vocal performance with an emphasis in opera and has extensive experience competing and performing throughout the Bay area. Past teachers include Lori Ott, Thelma Dare Ahner, and Jodi Benecke. She was inspired to pursue music education during her tenure as a CNA when she saw first hand how therapeutic music was for the clients in her care. She began her collegiate studies with the goal of teaching music classes for children and now that dream is a reality!
