Tracey Craig McKibben earned her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Piano Performance and Pedagogy from Pensacola Christian College where she studied with Daniel Nagy and Daisy de Luca Jaffe. Since graduate school, she has taught piano lessons in both school and studio settings. For over two decades, Tracey has taught students of all ages to instill in them a love of music and the technical proficiency to achieve their dreams. Several of her students are now teaching music professionally. Tracey began composing and arranging while in college. What began as a hobby quickly developed into a lifelong passion for creating music. Many of her early piano and string arrangements were created at the request of students and colleagues.
