“why is it important to learn an instrument?”

Learning an instrument or learning to sing offers so many valuable skills! It allows us to use our brains in a different, more creative way that can playfully challenge you while finding new ways to express yourself. Through consistent practice, we develop discipline and patience, learning how our efforts lead to progress. We also discover the importance of balance—how a strong technical foundation gives us more freedom for creativity and collaboration. These are amazing life skills that will help you with everything!

Born and raised in Timmins, Ontario, Katie is a versatile performer and music educator known for her “innate sense of interpretation and sensitive, colourful tone quality” as a flutist. With a love for solo, chamber, and orchestral playing, she has performed for organizations across Canada and Europe. Her recent projects include collaborating with the Canadian Music Centre on Robert Lemay’s album “Clés” and a concerto performance with her hometown orchestra.

Now based in Toronto, Katie is excited to share her teaching expertise in a new city. She offers private lessons in flute, piano, and voice at High Park Music, emphasizing fundamentals, technique, musicality, and confidence-building.
