Meet The Faculty

In order to receive her degree, Katie took private cello lessons, performed with the orchestra, and learned piano, guitar, ukulele, voice, and percussion accompaniment proficiently. Katie learned the principles of using music to reach communication, fine and gross motor skills, social skills, and academic skills by building a relationship through shared music experiences. She has worked with children and adults with autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, chromosomal abnormalities, and much more. Seeing children’s worlds expand and brighten with music is a life-long dream come true. She loves seeing technique and music principles grow along side quality of life growth outside of the sessions. Katie believes strongly in teaching to the way each child learns best individually.
