Coppell Conservatory - Christina Harvey

Ms. Christina Harvey began playing the violin in the fifth grade. In high school, she enjoyed leadership roles in one of Oklahoma's leading orchestras and in the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute. She attended several summer music academies, including Aria International SMA and the National Symphony Orchestra Summer Music Institute.

Ms. Harvey fell in love with teaching when she began over seven years ago. Over time, she has taught beginner, intermediate, and advanced violinists, ranging from 5 years of age to adult. She has a passion for teaching and for passing on the gift of creating music through the violin.

Ms. Harvey received a Bachelor's degree in violin performance from the University of Oklahoma, and a Master's degree in music education from Southern Methodist University. Having studied with Felicia Moye and Ron Neal, both of whom studied with distinguished pedagogue Ivan Galamian, she is excited about passing on excellent skills to the next generation of violinists.
