Meet the owner of CB Studios - Mrs. Carissa Berkey
Carissa has been teaching for over 6 years now and has been playing piano and singing since age of 4, which has been 20 years. Additionally Carissa has her bachelors degree at the University of Valley Forge for ministry leadership - specializing in music. Her heart is to see students have fun learning music, while also discovering themselves. Each and every child has a gift, and not all of them are the same. Carissa loves creating a comfortable and fun atmosphere to help kiddos discover and learn their God given gifts! To help create a fun class, Carissa uses other instruments to help teach piano and voice, songs, games and prizes, and a bunch of other techniques to challenge each student, while helping them have fun. Her heart is also to spread the love of Jesus to every student and adult, and watch them GROW!!!
Carissa’s favorite part of lessons is watching each student leave with a smile and desiring to practice/come back. Carissa doesn’t just see this as a music business, but she truly values each student for who they are, and loves to cheer them on inside and outside of lessons! We are a family here at CB studios and Carissa is a music teacher that loves to become a friend/positive support.
Alongside of teaching music, Carissa is on staff at her church, Real Life Community Church, as the worship and youth Pastor and also has a traveling music group called Kingdom Seekers Worship Ministries.
Outside of work, Carissa loves the gym, loves to spend time with her hubby Noah Berkey and cheering him on in his business - Berkey’s Renovations - reading, hiking, gardening, writing music, and traveling to see different places. Overall she loves admiring the Lords creation!
Previous work experience includes, managing a music studio/teaching, teaching group classes, worship and music training in TX, years of choral training and making TX All-state choir in high-school multiple times.
