Where I Teach:
Ages Taught: 5-80
1988 – 1993 Completed 30 Graduate credits in the Music Education Program at the University of Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut 1986 Awarded K-12 Certification to teach K-12. 1980 – 1982 Bachelor of Arts: Music Education Major, Miami University, Oxford Ohio in addition to obtaining a scholarship 1973 – 1977 Music Education Major , Kent State University, Kent, Ohio
I Played trumpet and violin in the orchestra for the Brandfor High School annual Musicals for (15) fifteen years.
Also, I played violin and trumpet in the New Haven, Connecticut Civic Orchestra from 1996 - 2004.
I was born in Winchester Indiana on 9/9/1954, but raised in Middletown Ohio. Trumpet was my major instrument which I focused on in obtaining my Bach. Degree in Music Ed. from Miami University of Ohio, and Strings were my focus. I started and ran a string program in Branford CT since 1985, and, this is where I still live. I have a total of 23 years in public schools. I got my first string teaching position in Oconee Co. SC I studied Cello for 4 years at Kent State University from 1973-74, which is why I focused on string teaching. I enjoy composing music, and arranging music, for fellow musicians which has become my passion, which I now do through the music notation program - Finale 20006b, and the sequencer program Pro Tools7M Powered, thru which I run thru my MacBook Pro, and my M audio I/o Interface board.
I Developed a unique method of teaching string composition from beginners to advanced students as well as in the areas of Improvisation and Composition . Moreover, I enjoy teaching to a diverse age population and a variety of styles from each instrument I teach.
Moreover, I have developed students' original compositions, for 2nd year students and for those older students to explore more levels. I compiled them in individual books, so that they can learn from each other which proved to be successful.Katherine
I started with no musical experience and now can read music and have begun to play without looking at the strings, excellent teacher.
