    “Im reporting to you live from my actors' housing at ‘People’s Light’ in Malvern, PA where I booked my first professional musical thanks to Kate.

    Kate really changed everything for me... I was comfortable just being an actor... but now I’m a singer too. Kate is flexible, knowledgeable, and so fun to work with.

    Change your voice, change your life.”

    “The decision to take summer lessons with Kate was amazing! Her technique and methods she used were phenomenal, I grew so much as a singer! She was super down to earth and willing to help with any sort of repertoire.”

    Full Time Musician

    “As a full time professional singer who plays anywhere from 3-6 gigs per week, Summer Sing was perfect for my schedule. It was flexible, affordable and kept me feeling vocally healthy during my most intense gig season. I’ve been taking voice lessons for years and loved my previous voice teachers, but sometimes you also need some new tools in your toolbox. Kate gave me new things to work on and think about even after 10+ years of vocal training. Can’t recommend her enough.”

    New Voice Teacher

    “Since my first lesson with Kate I knew I had found one of the most knowledgeable, caring and talented voice teacher. Kate creates a safe and supportive environment that allows me to feel comfortable experimenting with my voice. In the last ten months I have become more confident with my voice and have learned how to sing in different genres; thanks to Kate’s knowledge in pop, musical theater, and jazz. In every lesson Kate always brings a positive energy and gives amazing feedback. With every question that I have about vocal technique, vocal anatomy or any question that might arise, Kate always has an answer.”

    Professional Singer

    “I first met Kate beginning of my senior year of college. I just transferred to Temple. And to be so honest, I was not where I needed to be vocally, which was not any fault of anybody. I was a late bloomer vocally, and I just was more comfortable as a soprano. But I knew, obviously, that I couldn't keep living in that zone.

    By the time I graduated, I was beyond in a place I needed and wanted to be. Like I exceeded my own expectations! Oh, my God, Why am I crying as I type this? Wait. Because I love Kate.

    She changed my life ...seriously.”

    Professional Classical Soprano & Voice Coach

    I took three months of voice lessons with Kate, and as a highly-trained classical singer, she opened my eyes to completely different ways to use my instrument. Her knowledge of pedagogy was instrumental in helping me put the pieces together to expand my voice teaching toolkit, and my own skills as a performer.
