Kate has been teaching violin and piano for ten years. Before moving to Hamilton in 2009, she taught private and group violin lessons for the University of Manitoba Suzuki program and in her own private studio in Winnipeg. She currently maintains a home studio in West Hamilton, and teaches for the Oakville Suzuki Association. In addition to teacher training from the Suzuki Association of the Americas, Kate also has training in the Orff-Schulwerk Method of music instruction. She specializes in teaching young beginners.

When she isn't teaching, Kate is also a Ph.D. candidate at McMaster University. Her research with Dr. Laurel Trainor investigates how developing infants and children learn about music, either through the world around them or through formal instruction.
