Hello! My name is Krista Mathers and I am the Choir Director and piano teacher! I teach our 5 choral music ensembles; Vocal Ensemble, Songbird Chorus, Soaring Singers, Talon Tones, and Eagle Choir. I also teach our group piano class. 

I graduated from Cal State Fullerton with my Bachelors in Music (Voice) in 2012. After graduation I quickly discovered that a performer's lifestyle was not for me and I began working as a substitute teacher where I discovered my true passion for teaching and more specifically for teaching music.So, I returned to CSUF to obtain my Single-Subject Music Teaching Credential and completed the program in May 2017. Since then I have been teaching choir in the public school setting and I absolutely love it! I started here at Cope during the 2021-2022 school year. 

I am married to my best friend, Dave Mathers, who is a History Teacher at Yucaipa High School. I enjoy reading, crafting, weight training, yoga, card and board games, shopping and spending time with my rescue pups Ginger and Honey.
