About Me

Born and raised in the Winchester area, Kate has been playing piano for over 15 years. Kate recently graduated from Shepherd University with a Bachelors in Music Education with a focus in piano performance. For the past 5 years Kate has been offering lessons in piano and courses for early childhood development.

In her spare time Kate enjoys spending time on her family Homestead where she tends to chickens, ducks, goats and the family dog and cat, Riley and Rascal. When Kate is not tending to the animals or teaching piano, she enjoys reading, drawing, and playing Animal Crossing.

"When I teach music, I am in an incredible position to watch my student's excitement and curiosity grow. I have taught many different ages, levels, and groups but my core beliefs in teaching have remained the same. Everyone deserves to be taught and participate in music no matter their age or ability.

When I play music, I love the way it makes me feel. I can rejoice in the sound filling up the room. I want this for all of my students, no matter where they are in their journey, I want to help them love music so that they can carry this lifelong passion with them forever.

Music was created to communicate emotion in ways that we normally can not. I believe that it is my responsibility to help others learn to communicate through music."
