| At CSMA |
| Kathe joined the CSMA
Music Faculty in 2005, teaching private flute lessons. |
| Teaching Philosophy and Approach |
| "I welcome all
ages, from 9 through adult, and all levels of ability. It is my desire
to awaken the joy of music in my students, instill in them a solid
musical foundation, and encourage them to develop the skills to play
the flute well and confidently to whatever level they aspire, and
to have fun in the process. I teach the classical repertoire and
supplement with pop and jazz, depending on student interest." |
| Personal |
| Kathe especially enjoys
outdoor sports, including hiking, swimming, skin diving, horseback
riding, and flying. She has both private pilot and FAA aircraft dispatcher
licenses. She has traveled extensively in both America and Europe.
In addition to teaching, Kathe has worked as an aircraft dispatcher,
flight operations analyst, and for Verne Q. Powell Flutes in Maynard,
