My name is Kristen Seale. I received my bachelors degree in music education from West Texas A&M University in 2004. I also received Sealemy Masters degree in conducting from WTAMU in 2005. I enjoy playing the flute and have been a member of the Amarillo Symphony and the Brazos Valley symphony. After teaching band in college station for the last four years at Oakwood Intermediate, Mr. Seale and I had our first child. I am now staying at home with him, but would love to continue teaching flute through private lessons.

I will teach the lessons at the student’s band hall during class. I am also looking for another high school student to teach after school.

Mrs. Seale teaches grades 6-12.
