About Cathy
I am a concert musician with over 18 years of experience in piano, violin, and singing, and 11 years in teaching. I have competed in several competitions every year, ranging from local to international levels, and have performed with honor choirs like the Bach Festival Society at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, at Walt Disney's Epcot Candlelight Processional, as well as earned perfect scores on sight-reading and music theory tests from Florida Music Education Association as part of their All-State Music Convention. I have also led as a section leader in orchestra for violin as well as performed first-chair violin for a quartet at Disney's Epcot for a national school board event. As a private teacher, I have taught students from all ages, children to adults. My students are like family to me, so I always make sure to take care of them as such. I firmly believe that music has no secrets or magic tricks, so I will share all that I know with you and more. To achieve whatever goal you may have - and this goes beyond just music - all it takes is hard work, knowledge, and passion, and with it confidence! Now go practice! :)

I have several years of experience teaching a variety of ages due to my previous job of private music teaching in people's homes as well as teaching students in middle and high school in the choral or orchestral department. I always personally tailor my lessons based on the student's personality and strengths/weaknesses, as well as their own goals for learning the craft. Whether you are an adult simply looking for a new thing to try or a student who wants to get better at their instrument to get into conservatory or an auditioned orchestra/choir, know that I will take care of you and your needs first and foremost. I believe that everyone has their own story to tell with music; my job is simply to help you find your voice to share it.

Perfect! Cathy is an outstanding violin tutor. She is very patient and knowledgable. She goes in-depth on every topic, fully explaining each and every nuance. I felt that I knew so much more about the violin after just a single lesson. I would rate six stars if I could.
Perfect! Cathy is incredibly informed & passionate about piano! She is very patient and great about prioritizing healthy playing habits.
Perfect! Cathy is a talkative, easy-going, yoga (oh no singing ;) ) teacher with rich performance experience. I like her!
Perfect! Cathy is an accomplished musician and singer and impresses me every time she gives my daughter a lesson. Her thoughtful insight and instruction has done wonders for my daughters violin and voice
Perfect! My daughter is taking singing lessons with Cathy and we are extremely glad we’ve found her. Cathy is very nice, responsive and professional. She gives detailed and clear instructions as how to sing better and feel confident in yourself when singing. Safety is a key priority for her students and Cathy teaches them how to avoid things such as vocal fry. Cathy personalizes lessons for my daughter and even made the score for the piece she would like to sing. We can say that Cathy is a great singing tutor, and we are very happy with her.
Perfect! My experience with Cathy has been amazing so far. I’ve had two vocal lessons with her and I truly believe I found the perfect instructor for me. She’s so encouraging which is so necessary for me to not lose hope and give up on my dream of singing. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a vocal coach that they feel comfortable around that is also very knowledgeable (:

Cathy is truly one of the best! She is funny, very patient and kind and has an amazing way with kids. My 8 year old's violin skills improved greatly after just a few lessons. My son sometimes has trouble focusing but Cathy was able to capture his full attention every time. She pays great attention to detail and explains things in an easy and understandable manner. Her lessons are fun and exciting and I love that she always has an encouraging word for my son. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to play the violin.
Edit: after reading the review to my son he said: "Why one of the best? She IS the best!" :)Cathy is a great teacher. She is very attentive and focused in helping her students to get the techniques right. She takes time explaining the details as well as sharing her practicing experiences which I find very helpful. As her former student, I highly recommend Cathy.
Starting singing in my late teens, Cathy has been nothing but helpful. She’s extremely patient and understanding that correct singing can feel awkward and new as it was for me. Her approach to teaching singing is focused on using proper technique to avoid injury, which was really important for someone like me who strains easily in higher registers.
Cathy is extremely patient when it comes to her students, and gives excellent constructive criticism. She is very caring and understanding to her students, and is great at teaching piano and string instruments.
Cathy’s vocal coaching has helped me see more improvement in the past year than I ever did in the many years before she taught me. Not only has she helped me sound better, but she also showed me how to maintain the health of my voice.
She is also very patient and thorough with her lessons, willing to answer any questions that I have. To make sure that I fully understand, she elaborates on her points and demonstrates them herself with visual aids, adapting her teaching to my personal learning style.
I highly recommend Cathy to anyone that wants to learn foundational singing techniques, as well as more advanced ones. Her teaching is effective both online and in person.Cathy is a great teacher. She taught me for about a year and with her guidance I felt my talent grow. She is a passionate teacher who genuinely enjoys the arts. She is great at explaining exactly what needs to be improved and has great patience. Overall she was a great teacher!
