Meet the Director
Chelsea Arnold serves as the Assistant Choral Director at Bartlesville High School and is honored to also serve as Director of the Bartlesville Youth Chorale. A graduate of Oklahoma State University, she earned her bachelor’s degree in 2018 and later completed a Master of Music Education degree from Southeastern Oklahoma State University.
Passionate about music education and student growth, Chelsea is committed to providing students throughout the Bartlesville area with exceptional choral experiences that foster musical excellence, confidence, and a lifelong appreciation for the arts. She believes music has the power to build community, create lasting friendships, and help students discover their confidence. Having participated in choir throughout her own school years, she is passionate about creating those same meaningful experiences for today’s young singers.
Outside of teaching and directing, Chelsea enjoys traveling and spending quality time with family and friends. One of her favorite parts of teaching is watching students grow not only as musicians, but also as leaders and teammates.
