Music Teachers
Krista Reeder kreeder@nrheg.k12.mn.us
Hello! My name is Krista Reeder and this is my 15th year of teaching music in the public schools. I taught 5-12 band in Iowa for 7 years and general music for the last 7 years. In addition to teaching K-12 music and choirs at NRHEG, I also teach 6-12 music part-time at Iowa Virtual Academy, teach tap, jazz, lyrical, ballet, musical theater, and pom classes at UPDS Dance Studio in Albert Lea, play organ for church, and direct the adult choir and Sunday School music at church. My husband and I live on a farm outside of Glenville with our two children, Mason and Makenna, who also attend NRHEG, and our dog Bella and cats Petunia and Bandit. We raise cattle, pigs, sheep, and chickens for 4-H, too. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy traveling, taking our Jeep to the mountains, and baking. I am a Disney fanatic and love watching and performing in musicals!
