Alyssa Burnett
Owner/Director of Musical Me in OKC & Kindermusik Instructor since 2010
My desire to teach music began when I was just a child. My dream became reality when I graduated with my Bachelor's in Music Education (K-12) from Oklahoma Baptist University in 2005. For the next 5 years I taught music in the OKC Metro and LOVED teaching my students how to be passionate about life through music in my classroom. My first born graced us with her presence in 2010 and Kindermusik at Crosssings was born so I could still teach but have the flexibility of being at home as well. As a licensed Kindermusik educator and business owner, I have had the privledge of having hundreds of students come through my doors and as the business grew, so did the name. Musical Me in OKC became our new name in 2016. I am now a mother of 3 and it is joy for me to teach my family, and other families how to love music. I love to help foster the development of each individual child. I am rewarded by seeing the eagerness, energy, and passion on my student's faces as they discover life through music!

Laura was involved in vocal music at church and in school as long as she can remember, with her musically inclined family encouraging her. She began playing the violin in the 4th grade, through her middle and high school years and college education. Orchestra gave Laura many opportunities for fellowship with the other student musicians and several opportunities to travel with honor groups outside of the school setting including abroad to Beijing, China. She has now played violin over 25 years and graduated with a degree in General Studies from UCO and an Occupational Therapy Assistant degree from OCCC.
