YOUR TEACHER

Hello, I'm Katie.

As a music educator, I believe that with encouragement, inspiration, and thoughtfully sequenced instruction, every person has the innate ability to thrive in the arts. Drawing on my training in the Feldenkrais Method®, I support students through the physical and musical challenges of piano playing—helping them grow with healthy technique, body awareness, and a deep love of music.
