About Me

Hello, my name is Kathy. I am a Piano and Voice teacher in the Akron and surrounding areas. I grew up taking piano lessons, and was always a member of my school’s choir. In high school I accompanied many of the choirs, as well as continuing to sing. That experience led me to earn my Bachelors Degree in Music Education and Voice from the University of Akron. I taught general music for a year in Virginia. After returning to Ohio, I started giving piano lessons. I have completed the course work for a Masters Degree in Choral Conducting and continued voice lessons at the University of Akron. I am a member of Singers Companye and Crooked River Chorale, singing soprano in both groups. These choirs sing throughout the Akron and Cleveland areas. I had the opportunity to sing at Blu Jazz with the Cabaret Project, and will continue to participate in that show. I am the alto soloist, and substitute pianist at the Church of the Western Reserve in Pepper Pike. For me Music have always been a source of expression, growth, connections, and friendships. It is a very important part of all of our lives. I hope that I can play a part in your musical journey.

What to expect in my Keyboard and Piano Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

I try to create an individualized lesson for each of my students. Everyone learns differently. Students with learn exercises that help develop their skills at the piano. Musical concepts, such as rhythm, phrasing, and theory can be addressed at almost any level. I like to incorporate moving and singing into piano lessons to reinforce ideas. Students are welcome to let me know what kinds of music they enjoy so that can be a part of what they are learning, as well as a set curriculum.


What to expect in my Vocal Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

A large part of voice lessons will include learning the skills and techniques that promote healthy singing. Breathing, posture, and sound production are things that singers of all levels need to think about all of the time. No matter the genre you want to sing, these concepts will always apply. Lessons will be individualized depending on a students goals, as well as the types of music they are participating in. I think that it is important for my voice students to be able to read music in order to help themselves be better musicians. That is something that I will help them with. I will choose music that I feel is appropriate for a students needs, as well as taking their requests into consideration.
