Kate K.,

Katherine is a recent graduate of Boston Conservatory at Berklee, having received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theater. At school she studied voice with Christy Turnbow, and in high school she studied with Sarah Elaine Bailey. Since moving to NYC she has studied voice with Jared Trudeau. Favorite credits include Cunegonde in Candide (Boston Conservatory), Woman #3 in the ensemble/Phoebe and Sibella understudy in A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder (Lyric Stage Company of Boston), Woman #1 in Sondheim on Sondheim (Cain Park), Cinderella in Into the Woods (Rubber City Theatre), Fairy Godmother/Bluebird in Shrek the Musical (Boston Conservatory), and Ariel in The Little Mermaid (Akron School for the Arts). She has performed with multiple orchestras including the Cleveland Pops Orchestra, Firelands Symphony Orchestra, and the Akron Symphony Orchestra. Katherine also has extensive experience teaching children, having begun to teach theater and music in high school and continuing to do so throughout college. Most recently Katherine taught at New York Kids Club and New York Preschool.

Kate believes in joy being the driving factor in all singing lessons. She sees music as a source of fun for all ages, as well as an opportunity to build confidence in oneself not just as a performer but as a lifelong learner. Katherine believes in “cross-training” when it comes to singing; musical theater performers must be proficient in multiple styles, and therefore her students will benefit from and share in her knowledge of musical theater, classical, pop/rock, and folk techniques. Theory is also a major component of Katherine’s teaching style. While learning by ear is impressive and a skill to be fostered in its own right, a solid foundation of theory is essential to becoming a truly skilled musician.

Kate teaches Voice lessons and Piano lessons.
