Hello Friends of Parlando!
Welcome back to a new semester at Parlando School for the Arts! We have an exciting year of new and established programming planned. Throughout the semester we will be highlighting various aspects of our high-quality and life-changing offerings. In this newsletter we are focusing on Parlando faculty member, Kristi Stice.
Kristi has a Bachelors of Music in Jazz Studies from the

University of North Florida. She has taught guitar, voice (specializing in jazz) and piano since 2004, having run her own private lesson studio in Florida for several years. She is an accomplished jazz vocalist and is the lead singer of Eve's Drop (Northern Colorado based on Hapi Skratch Records) and composes original folk music. A versatile teacher, Kristi teaches folk, rock, jazz and classical guitar as well as songwriting, singing and music theory at Parlando.
Currently, Kristi teaches an Intro to Guitar class on Thursdays 4:15-5:00 ($365 for the full semester, pro-rated for late enrollment) and offers private lessons in guitar, piano and jazz voice on Tuesdays and Thursdays (both during school and after school times available).
