    About Katherine F.

    5.0
    (6)
    My name is Katherine and I am in my third year at the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami. I am originally from New Jersey, and before coming to school at Frost, I was fortunate enough to perform in venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Ithaca College, Drew University, Rutgers University, as well as every major concert hall in Vienna and Budapest. At Frost, I perform regularly with the Frost Wind Ensemble, the Frost Symphony Orchestra, Frost's New Music Ensemble (Ensemble Ibis), and the Frost Percussion Group. In March of 2018, I was fortunate enough to be featured as a soloist with the Frost Symphonic Wind Band in the performance of David R. Gillingham's "Concerto for Four Percussionists." Though I have a passion for percussion, I also have a love for teaching. My goal is to help my students grow to be great musicians while also having fun while studying percussion!

    Katherine Fortunato is one of the most knowledgeable and competent instructors and players I've worked with throughout the years so far. I have been playing percussion since very young age and I met her couple years ago when I got the chance to work directly with her and it has been an amazing experience. I highly recommend her skills and knowledge to all levels and age groups!

    My daughter took lessons with Ms. Fortunato last summer and we had no idea how much she was going to enjoy it. She came home every week talking about how much she wanted to be a musician just like her teacher when she grows up. My wife and I just wanted to give her an idea of what music was since both of us played when we were younger, but Ms. Fortunato gave her so much more than that and we are incredibly grateful. Unfortunately, we weren't able to continue lessons past the summer, but we're definitely going to start up again as soon as we can!
