Online lessons have gone really well and have helped me focus more on the lesson. Kat is kind and chill and gives really good advice - she has helped me a lot with my left hand position. Kat is a great teacher.

I love that my son’s violin lessons are such a balanced combination of technique and a wide range or repertoire. He’ll go from arpeggios to one finger or one string scales, to a Bach Gavotte, a fiddle tune and a little Frank Sinatra played by ear all in one lesson. Kat really knows how to keep the rep appealing and engaging for students

After ten years of playing violin, Kat is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. She has helped me grow so much as a violinist and so much that I have accomplished as a musician I owe to her.
— Isabella, 16 y.o

Isabella is a 2nd year violin student

Kat’s private teaching studio is made up of around 20 violin and viola students of all levels, ages, and styles. She’s developed her own teaching pedagogy that combines the classical teaching theories of Shinichi Suzuki, Dorothy Delay and Leopold Auer with the modern approach from present day fiddle and jazz violin masters such as Darol Anger, Sara Caswell and Mark O’Connor.


A portion of every lesson is donated to the following organizations.
