Learning Through the Arts
Christina is a certified Wolf Trap Teaching Artist with the Singapore Repertory Theatre (SRT). She helps preschool teachers and children learn through the performing arts—using music, movement, drama, dance, and puppetry to make learning joyful and meaningful.

More Than Just Music and Movement
Her approach goes beyond performance. Christina uses arts integration, a proven teaching method where the arts and academic subjects—like math, literacy, and science—work hand in hand. This helps children understand concepts deeply while developing creativity, confidence, and communication skills.

Supporting Teachers and Classrooms
Christina partners with educators to design lessons that meet the MOE NEL Framework goals, including:

  • Numeracy

  • Language and Literacy

  • Discovery of the World

  • Social-Emotional Competencies

Through classroom residencies, she works side-by-side with teachers and students, modeling arts-based strategies they can use every day.

Professional Development for Educators

  • Job-Embedded Coaching: Teachers learn by doing, with Christina guiding them through real classroom experiences.

  • Sustainability: Educators gain a toolkit of creative strategies to continue arts-infused teaching long after the program ends.

  • Confidence and Creativity: 92% of teachers in Wolf Trap programs report feeling more confident and inspired in their teaching.

“I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be part of this meaningful residency with Singapore Theatre Company and the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts. The experience has enriched my teaching practice and brought so much joy and engagement to my classroom through the integration of music and the arts. I am especially thankful to Ms. Christina for her guidance, creativity, and inspiring strategies, which have made a lasting impact on both my students and myself as an educator.”- Teacher S

“Seeing how naturally and joyfully the children responded to music as part of their daily learning. Their enthusiasm during singing, movement, and rhythm-based activities was truly rewarding. Another highlight was learning practical strategies from Ms. Christina that I could immediately apply in class, such as using music to manage transitions and reinforce concepts. These moments stood out because they not only enhanced classroom engagement but also supported the children’s confidence, self-expression, and social interaction.”- Teacher C
