At age 14, Kathryn became MMTA certified. She studied piano performance at Belmont University and music composition at St. Paul’s McNally Smith. In 2010, Kathryn was crowned Miss Minnesota and won talent at Miss America in 2011.

Kathryn and her husband Andy own their own music production company, 2gether Productions, where they give private music lessons, perform live, and record/produce music.
Topic: DO YOU DUET?
There are many benefits to group duet playing aside from students’ individual lesson times. In this session, I’ll share ideas on how to get started and how to incorporate group duet playing into your own studio. You too, will see the difference it makes in your students! I’ll have examples of duets that work well for different age groups as well as tips and tricks to make these rehearsals go smoothly for you and your students. I will help you make it a warm, friendly, motivating, and inspiring environment for your students to learn, grow, make music, and best of all, have a blast doing it!
