AWESOME instructor! In all seriousness, Kat is amazing. She is able to teach singing concepts in a meaningful and constructive way. She has a very calming presence and never makes me feel inept. I've been taking lessons with Katherine for approximately 6 months now and I can positively say that she has helped me make great improvements with my singing. Do not hesitate to schedule lessons with her or else you will be missing out.

Kat is a great teacher! I've been taking voice lessons with her for roughly half a year and making tons of progress. She is very knowledgeable about different vocal techniques and apparently experienced in teaching students at various levels. I also like that she encourages students to discover their own singing styles. 10/10 recommended.

Kat has taught me, a random dude in Georgia, to sing and it's the best thing ever. I don't regret a single dime towards the lessons because she has been very helpful and supportive of me and singing. If there is anything I need to ask, she has always been there to help. I enjoy the way she makes me visualize a technique to make me grasp or think about to help me.
