"Without music, life would be an error." --Nietzsche

About Me

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 ...

Lesson Details

Guitar Piano Singing

My Specialties

all-levels voice, beginning guitar, beginning piano I specialize in a classical voice method, which I believe is a good foundation for all styles of singing. I have experience with classical singing, music theatre (I have a minor from my undergraduate education in Theatre) and folk. I'm an experienced songwriter and am able to guide students in that area. I teach notes and chords for my guitar students. I don't teach guitar tablature; instead, I teach basic guitar music on the staff. Also, I teach beginning piano, including basic music theory, note spelling, etc.

My Education

Litchfield High School - general - graduated 1994
University of Nebraska - BFA--Music (Vocal Performance) - graduated 1998
Cleveland Institute of Music - Master of Music (Voice) - graduated 2000
