Kathy's teaching philosophy. "Students are naturally inspired before they head my way. My goal is to keep them motivated and inspired. I will use a variety of positive ways to help each student develop their music reading and brass playing. We'll have fun learning, practicing musical exercises that promote good brass playing, and performing traditional and new music. Every effort will be made to nurture the students' love of music and to encourage them to set attainable music goals and reach them."
