Welcome to my website!

My name is Katelyn Kaiser and I am a professional flutist and teacher on Outschool. My favorite courses to teach integrate music with different art forms, such as dance or film. I love teaching niche topics, like sound effects, film music, and women in popular music. I love to talk about my interests and bring this excitement to my classes!

I have been teaching private and group music classes for around 10 years. I especially love working with homeschooling families to supplement their arts education. The finish line is in sight for the completion of my doctorate in musical arts degree from Shenandoah Conservatory! I should finish writing my dissertation and receive my degree in June 2021. I am so excited to nearly be finished with my higher education journey!

When I am working with students, I encourage them to create a sense of community among themselves. Working together verses as an independent instructor and group of students helps create a safe place for ideas to flow. I want students to leave my classroom as well-rounded people who can interact with their peers and colleagues as independent thinkers.

I encourage my students to develop inquisitive minds. The ability to problem solve and think critically are learned skills and I believe my classroom should be a space in which students can practice. I support my students in exploring topics which interest and fulfill them within my class. By offering classes that students are able to individualize to fit their interests, my students remain engaged and find individual satisfaction within my classroom.

When I am not teaching or performing, I enjoy spending time with my partner, our menagerie of animals, and our family. We spend our weekends outside exploring everything nature has to offer!
