Teri Cristelli grew up in the Niagara Region in a house full of musicians. After performing in many music festivals, school based events, and within faith based music ministries as a child, Teri attended the University of Western Ontario. She earned a four year Bachelor of Music degree (Honours), studying piano with Ronald Turini, former student of the great Vladimir Horowitz, before attending the University of Western Ontario's Faculty of Education to earn a Bachelor of Education (Music). Her passion for piano performance led her to independently pursue an Associate Diploma in Piano Performance (ARCT) from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto and a Licentiate Diploma in Piano Performance (LTCL) from Trinity College in London, England.
Currently, Teri enjoys her role as the Arts Consultant for the Niagara Catholic District School Board, which enables her to foster interest in the arts throughout Niagara Region schools.
Teri is the Music Director at St. Alfred's Church in St. Catharines, directing Italian, children's, and adult choirs and working with various soloists. This also allows her the opportunity to provide the soundtrack for weddings, as she has played the organ and piano for hundreds of ceremonies over the years, helping couples select the perfect music for their special day.
