Kristin Griffeath
Dr. Kristin Griffeath, soprano, grew up in Plymouth, Minnesota and was inspired to pursue teaching music as a career by dedicated and caring public music educators like Norma West Hammer and Dennis Jewett, and incredible private voice and piano teachers, including Annette Valley, Emilia Vishnevestky-Flegel, and lifelong mentor, Mary Kay Schmidt. Griffeath attended the Lawrence University Conservatory of Music in Appleton, WI, where she double majored in Music Education (Choral/Vocal) and Piano Performance. Dr. Michael Kim, Dr. Catherine Kautsky, and Mrs. Joanne Bozeman were all important musical mentors in her years at Lawrence, and Griffeath enjoyed accompanying some of the Lawrence Community Girl Choir ensembles while in Appleton. In 2004, she married tenor Dr. Robin Griffeath and decided to continue her educational journey with a dream of teaching voice at the college level in order to combine her passions for education and voice with the opportunity to play piano every day. She spent three years living in sunny Tucson, Arizona, teaching in the public schools and helping first graders compose short, original operas while earning a master’s degree in Voice Performance from the University of Arizona. She studied voice with Dr. Kristin Dauphinais and performed the roles of “The Lady with a Hand Mirror” from Argento’s Postcard from Morocco and “Dorine” from Mechem’s Tartuffe. Griffeath then attended the University of Missouri–Kansas City Conservatory of Music and Dance, singing the roles of “Miss Wordsworth” in Britten’s Albert Herring and the “Dew Fairy” in Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel. Studying voice with Dr. Rebecca Sherburn, Griffeath completed a DMA in Voice Performance and a second master’s degree in Musicology. She taught voice as a graduate teaching assistant at UMKC and for the Conservatory Academy’s “Musical Bridges” program, an urban outreach program connecting private teachers to talented students in Kansas City Public Schools. She now teaches as a professor at Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU) in Weatherford, Oklahoma. She enjoys directing SWOSU Opera Workshop productions, teaching the music history sequence, and working with talented young singers in her voice studio. As the faculty director of the SWOSU Music Academy, she values the opportunity to work with elementary voices in the Allegro Youth Choir and enjoys mentoring Junior Faculty Members. Recent musical projects have included music directing the Southwest Playhouse community theatre production of The Drowsy Chaperone, performing recitals in Minneapolis as part of the Thursday Musical Artist series, and playing fun piano duets with her two amazing children, Nora and Brendan.

Guillermo Castellon
Born and raised in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. I finished my High School and Bachelor's degree in Honduras. After graduating, I traveled to Oklahoma to complete a Master's degree in Civil Engineering from Oklahoma State University. Currently I am working on my bachelor's degree in instrumental music education. I plan to graduate in 2023 and hopefully be able to share all the knowledge that I have acquired at SWOSU in a school. My primary instrument is the guitar, which I have been playing for about 20 years. I am also learning the viola and voice. I have been a member of Southwestern singers, SWOSU Symphony Orchestra, and Swosu Jazz Ensembles since 2018. I welcome anyone interested in learning the guitar to join the SWOSU Academy.
