About Katy
Precision in tone production and intonation defines the foundation of my teaching practice. I recall the quiet focus of the orchestra pit during my time with the Canadian Opera Company, where every note demanded absolute clarity. Having studied violin since age 5 and held a Bachelor of Music from the University of Toronto, I have refined my approach over 13 years of instruction.
My background includes mastering complex left hand agility and rhythmic timing, which I now translate into clear, actionable advice for my students. Scales and arpeggios provide the scaffolding for a beautiful sound, and I find great joy in watching a student find their voice through these exercises. Classical repertoire offers endless discovery, and teaching students to interpret these works is truly satisfying. It is rewarding to guide a student through the nuances of orchestral playing until the music feels entirely their own.

You will find that your lessons prioritize technical excellence through a rigorous evaluation process that maintains an 8.0 standard of execution. By breaking down complex movements into manageable sequences, I ensure your progress remains steady and grounded in musical integrity.
I draw upon my 13 years of experience to address your specific habits, listening intently to the resonance of your instrument while we work on ear training. Attention remains on the intersection of rhythm and phrasing to ensure your performance flows with natural ease.
I observe your posture and grip, adjusting them with the care of a seasoned performer who understands the physical demands of the stage. Clarity governs our time together, allowing you to build habits that withstand the pressure of public performance. Success requires nothing less than this thorough, deliberate approach to the art of the violin.
