Student testimonials –
‘I strongly recommend any flute player to take lessons with Kathryn and do not miss out on the opportunity to learn from her vast experience and knowledge for all kinds of flute playing. Her insight ranges from basic technique, repertoire, chamber music, professional orchestral auditions and much more. Not only does she pay personal attention tailored to your needs during lesson, she will also offer an extensive amount of resources for your own development. Whatever expectation you had before the lesson, she will surpass it.’
Hye-Won Suh, Principal Flute of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, graduate of Boston Conservatory and University of Auckland.
‘Kathryn was such a kind, generous, and patient teacher. She had a myriad of technical, musical, and industry resources and expertise that prepared me for a future of flute playing. In fact, studying with Kathryn played a key role in my decision to pursue classical flute into my tertiary studies – she instilled in me such a passion for creating meaningful music and setting higher standards. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to learn from and play with Kathryn.’
Eva Ding, New York freelance flautist, graduate of the Manhattan School of Music.
‘Kathryn is an incredibly dedicated and thoughtful teacher. After finishing my studies she challenged me to thinking when it came to flute playing and practice. I would not have been accepted to Boston University without her guidance and teaching. Whether you want regular lessons, are working towards a particular goal, or you just want a new opinion in your flute playing I cannot recommend Kathryn enough.’
Matthew Lee, casual player in Christchurch Symphony, Doctoral student Boston University.
