What I Teach?
I have taught public school band and orchestra since 2012.
I teach at Tilghman's Academy of Music online privately and group classes since 2018. 
My primary instruments are woodwinds, but I also have taught numerous piano classes for children as young as 3 years old as well as adults. 
Subjects I teach reflect the interest of the students and may include: classical, jazz, pop, rock, worship, world music, theatre, and more.

Why I teach?
I believe every person has a connection to music. It is my passion to help my students develop life skills such as: critical thinking, creative expression, setting goals, overcoming obstacles, and finding your voice individually and in society. 
Music can heal us, unite us, transform us, reveal who we are, or take us on a spiritual journey.

Discover more of yourself with music!

I want to help you set and reach your goals through positivity, encouragement, and opportunity to explore your creativity.
I am available any time for my students to answer questions and I make it my responsibility to make sure my students have everything they need to succeed.

My students excel in everything they do because of the techniques we learn that incorporate skills to strengthen learning in subjects including: math, science, languages, reading, writing, creativity and many more life long skills. I challenge my students and encourage them to have fun most of all in pursuing their passions for music.

We purchased introductory lessons for my 9-year-old to help her get started with the saxophone as she's learning it in band class. Kaitlyn was excellent.  She's very knowledgeable and very patient.  My daughter liked the lessons so much we decided to continue lessons with Kaitlyn.

Kaitlyn is just the teacher I needed! I'm all self taught with 20+ years of experience, but I just wanted to elevate my skill. I'm also disabled. She had no problem working with me in finding a way to make it work for me to play lying in bed. Her calm demeanor and constant encouragement really helps me through the anxiousness I always feel. She has helped me believe in myself, and I'm so grateful I was able to find her! Doing classes online makes it all possible for me.

Kaitlyn was wonderful! Our instructor had to stop last minute and we hadn’t reached our goal yet before school started and she was able to meet with us right away and stay on track. She did a wonderful job working with my son. We are excited to finish out the summer with her!

I tried many teachers before, but Kaitlyn was the first one who really made music make sense. She always went at my pace and found songs that I would enjoy playing. I have seen myself improve more than I ever have with my other instructors.

Kaitlyn is great. Very impressed with our first lesson. I will continue with her.

Kaitlyn is so well rounded in music. She helped my daughter with her AP music theory, get into the all state honor band, and even composed music directly for Sara. Kaitlyn goes above and beyond.

Kaitlyn is an amazing music teacher. Her kindness and patience with me kept me encouraged and eager to continue learning.

Kaitlyn has a way of pushing me to work hard while making learning enjoyable. Very smart. I would recommend others to take lessons with her.

Kaitlyn is a wonderful and patient teacher. My daughter has ADHD and Kaitlyn has been so creative and encouraging with her approach. She's the best.

Kaitlyn is exactly the right teacher for my 5th grade clarinet player.

My 10 year old son really enjoyed the clarinet lesson.  He learned a lot and thought she was very nice.

An excellent first lesson. Supportive, very helpful and knowledgeable.

Kaitlyn was great! She knows her stuff and my son is really excited to improve his clarinet skills.

Kaitlyn is very nice and very patient . Really great teacher . I really enjoy taking lessons from her 5 star 🎷
