Crystal Rose S. is a singer, songwriter, and music teacher whose recent musical explorations have been rooted in the idea of branching out and expanding in subject and sound. In her role as an educator, she aspires to always provide the tools necessary to help her students grow and develop their individual voice. She has learned the value of support and guidance through her education with musicians such as Nick Hakim, Jamie Leonhart, Claudia Acuña, LaTanya Hall, Scott Kettner, Kevyn Lettau among others, and her time earning her BFA in Jazz and Contemporary Music from the New School. It is Crystal Rose’s goal to help students tell their own personal stories by developing creative and deep connections to the songs that they may sing and/or play.
