Kirsta Johnston - Musician & Actor (London Colney)

Artist statement:
I have explored many different musical paths and avenues further to my initial training as a music teacher. The development of these skills including a Postgraduate course in Acting and Musical Theatre and my recent experience through my Creative Music Technology course has enabled me to consolidate my teaching and compositional skills and work as a musician at many different levels. Some of my own songs have been arranged and recorded in a band debut album 'Kara'. My ambitious drive to develop my own musical and acting skills as an ongoing learning process has challenged my own talents and enriched others.
