Cate is a gifted teacher of singing and a remarkably versatile musician. She magically identifies subtle ways my body and inner attitudes affect my communication as a professional singing actress. She then gently, but systematically, works to strengthen and relieve those blocks. I value her opinions highly. My only criticism is that there is not enough of her to go around!

Cate has been my DC-area voice teacher since high school, during which my knowledge of the voice, technique, and awareness of my vocal and physical health have increased exponentially. I want to thank her for giving me the basis of how to work with my own voice, as well as how to work with others in my capacities as a teacher and director.
