When Keri came to Zambia I learnt so much from her great artistry and experience both on and off stage.

Highly recommend singing lessons with Keri Chryst! She is insightful, with quick ready tips, that can be deeply engaged in too over longer periods of time too. Thank you!

Keri Chryst - Artist & Educator

Keri's dual mission as both Performer and Educator go hand in hand. She views each performances as an opportunity to share knowledge and fresh experiences with her audiences — and strives to include an element of collective creative experience in each of her educational projects.

These passions have led her to develop a full array of original curriculum for her Jazz Vocal Academy International as well as founding a France-based non-profit organization — Arts Embassy International — which lends structural support to projects for Teaching Artists such as herself.

With a Master's in Jazz Pedagogy from Northwestern University ('98) and Bachelor's in French Studies (NU '97) plus 2 decades of experience performing, arranging, creating curriculum, and teaching around the globe — she is primed and ready to spread the jazz gospel to anyone eager to learn, in just about any language.
