Testimonials

Kate instills confidence in me with her quiet, practical and always encouraging advice. As very much a beginner I am always inspired to try new things by Kate’s enthusiasm and detailed explanations.

Lately on the on-line courses Kate is able to make it feel very interactive and interesting with a mixture of the class altogether doing exercises, working on our own pieces and also one-to-one time factored in for individual tuition.

Christine McAleavey

Testimonials

Kate comes to lessons well-prepared and student-focused. During my time with her she has enabled me to gain more confidence in my work, to experiment, and to develop in my own way. This has been due to her empathy and patience, as well as her own deep knowledge and experience across disciplines.
