About
Hi, I'm Katherine!
I've been teaching 24 years on Violin, Viola, Cello, & Piano in styles from Classical, Baroque, Folk, Celtic, to Pop, Rock, Blues, and Jazz.
I hold a Bachelors & Masters degree in Music Performance emphasizing Classical and Jazz Studies.
I have performed with the Akron Symphony Orchestra, Canton Symphony Orchestra, Cleveland Opera, Erie Philharmonic Orchestra, Greenville Symphony Orchestra, Ohio Valley Symphony as Asst. Concertmaster, Opera Western Reserve, River City Symphony, South Florida Symphony Orchestra, Warren Philharmonic Orchestra as Asst. Concertmaster, West Virginia Symphony Orchestra, Wheeling Symphony Orchestra, and the Youngstown Symphony Orchestra.
I've toured/performed with Idris Phillips (toured with Cat Steven, Leon Russell, Richie Haven, etc.), Earth Wind & Fire, Barry Manilow, Phil Keaggy, Distant Worlds: Final Fantasy, Transiberian Orchestra, among various other artists.
When you're interested in learning classical studies or improvisation based in mixed genres like rock, pop, jazz, or fiddle on violin, viola, cello, or piano I'm here to help you explore in the serene artistic world of music.
I use multiple method books for scales, technique, and improvisational patterns based on the your individual needs.
