“Fascinating to watch were Kathryn’s fingers flying as she plucked the strings…. [her] dramatic musicianship brought the re­quired depth of in­ten­sity to Sond­heim’s bril­liant com­po­si­tion of heart­break splashed with irony…. Kathryn is a consummate artist.”

-Jane Wyss, Weekly Register-Call


“I have recently begun to lean on Kathryn for her invaluable (and always professional) advice regarding harp performance techniques and her razor-sharp precision into the nuances of harp notation. I always look forward to hearing her beautiful performances and attending her lectures/demonstrations. I hope to continue working with Kathryn to perfect my own understanding of the instrument, for she has become my touchstone in this regard.”

-Carter Pann, Professor of Composition, CU Boulder


“A consummate professional! Kathryn is an excellent musician and a wonderful collaborator, and demonstrates her versatility across a wide range of repertoire. She has great sensitivity in accompanying, both for soloists and chorus.”

-Tom Morgan, Artistic Director, Ars Nova Singers


“Ms. Kathryn is the most influential teacher of my harp career. She's taught me lots on musicality & dynamics, different memorization techniques, and many technical improvements. Both her positive feedback and the studio classes she provides has helped me strive to improve and set reasonable, working goals that keep me motivated. I would definitely recommend her for harp players in all areas!”

-Alex, Youth Pedal Harp Student

“Kathryn is sensitive and supportive in sharing her love of the harp through well thought-out teaching methods. She offers an attainable practice path to guide students to their goals. Her teaching encompasses auditory, muscle and cognitive learning. Lessons are rich with insights, not only in technique, but also with lyrical and musical interpretation.”
