Kathy believes that variety is the spice of not only life, but also music. Raised singing folk music with a musical family (think accordions, guitars and lots of vocal harmonies), she learned guitar and piano at an early age, but began singing even earlier.

Her quest to give the world the best her vocal cords could offer led her to obtain an undergraduate degree in vocal performance from the University of Nebraska (where she graduated honorable mention, named with the vocal department's Outstanding Senior in Music award, and also obtained a minor in theatre) and a master's degree in music from the Cleveland Institute of Music. Both of these degrees emphasized classical singing technique, and through this study Kathy gained a solid foundation for her musical craft.

Once out of school, Kathy then sought to begin creating HER music and HER sound, a challenge which continues to manifest itself even today in a variety of ways. Kathy is now a...

Originally from Saint-Petersburg, Russia, I studied violin, piano, voice, and music theory at the Glazunov School of Music since the age of 5.
After relocating to the US, I continued my musical training at the Eastman Community Music School in Rochester, NY, along with studying privately. Due to my broad interest in music and general curiosity I picked up playing the trumpet, began to dabble in various genres of music and composition.
I am a graduate of the University of Denver with a Bachelor of Music dual-degree in Classical Violin and Jazz Voice Performance. My college experience was filled with lessons in jazz piano and violin, composition, classical and jazz voice, participation in string chamber groups, symphony orchestra, jazz big band, bebop, hard bop, modal, latin, standards, and fusion jazz combos, with which I sang, as well as played violin, piano, and trumpet.

My approach as a piano and flute teacher is to endow each student with the skills and tools needed to improve his/her playing ability, increase musical expression and cultivate continued musical growth both in lessons and in practice time. With nine years of teaching experience, I understand that each student’s learning style, goals and interests vary, and I work to engage and delight every student.

My training in Music Performance at New York University, from which I graduated summa cum laude, as well as my training to become a certified teacher of the Alexander Technique, influence my teaching. The Alexander Technique is a method for integrating breathing, movement and postural support. It is invaluable for musicians as a tool to increase performance ability and a sense of ease in the body, as well as for injury prevention and pain management.

Prior to NYU, I studied at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS), where I acted as principal flutist of the...

After completing a Bachelors of Music from the University of Louisville I first began playing jazz around the city. Meanwhile I was co-founding my own original, more progressive projects and went on to play with Inter-scope Records Platinum selling rock band "Days of the New", which had three number one hits in the late nineties on Billboards rock charts, along side now pop sensation formally of the "Pussy Cat Dolls" Nicole Scherzinger.

Eventually I moved to New York City where I pursue my career as a musician in as many facets as possible. As a teacher I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for music and the experiences that I have accumulated with the students in hopes of giving their lives something rewarding and life enhancing. As each individual student has different needs and expectations of what they want to get out of music lessons. I give each student independent instruction at an independent pace while also trying to push the student to accomplish as much as possible from...

I started my musical training as a pianist at YAMAHA institute at age 4 in Japan. I was selected to enter perfect pitch class. It was designated for students who have perfect pitch and potentials to be professional musicians.

I enjoyed playing piano and electric piano and won the 1st prize at Kitakantou Electric Piano Competition hosted by YAMAHA institute. Because of the intensive training, I have been accompanying my students' recitals and performance exams.

As much as I enjoyed playing piano, I discovered that I also love singing, so I started to take singing lessons and majored in vocal performance during my college days.
Since I have graduated, I have been performing opera professionally. Some of the roles that I have performed include Zerlina in Mozart's Don Giovanni, Clorinda in Rossini's La Cenerentola with Capitol Heights Opera, Alice in Rossini's Le comte Ory with West Side Opera Society, Adele in J.Strauss's Die Fledermaus,Susanna in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro...
