FOR THE LOVE OF SINGING

My practice centers around the voice, the holy voice, the vibration of sound & the sacred art of PLAY.

play + pray : this is the axis on which i love to travel. Especially with others.

VOICE AS A PATHWAY TO PRESENCE

I am a community leader/teacher of song circles, movement-based vocal improvisation, meditation and somatically-informed singing practice.

My joy comes from guiding people back to their voices, to sing and move together, to usher people towards communion - with themselves, each other and with presence itself.

Once upon a time…there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy. The birds still remember what we have forgotten, that the world is meant to be celebrated.

—Terry Tempest Williams

Let's Work Together

“Kath is an absolute treasure in Ann Arbor’s community of creatives and healers. With her beautiful voice, playful approach, and deeply empathic, intuitive style, she can inspire anyone to sing.”

~ Karein G

“Kath is an incredible voice teacher. She has the rare power of being both knowledgeable about music theory and technique, as well as having a deep understanding of how your voice and your music are a part of who you are as a person, how they relate to your emotions and how they can engage your soul. She has been a gift to me.”

~Zoey F.

“I adore private voice lessons with Kath -- sure, for improving my singing voice, but really for settling into deep listening of my own body. Kath makes it safe to ease into knowing my instrument's capacity, my breath's depth, my own soul’s desire & beauty.”

~ C.H.K.

“Kath is magic. She has this effortless ability to create a container in which you feel not only safe, but excited to grow fully into and sharpen your vocal skills. Before you know it, you might find that you actually want to expand the size of your safe container and in a few years be looking forward to doing vocal improv games on the streets with strangers!”

~ Amber

“Maybe if I had a thousand words to work with I could still only just begin to describe how perceptive, compassionate and ultimately effective Kath's vocal coaching has been for me. She is that good.”

~ Dan B.
