In the past few years Katherine Thompson has taught voice lessons to singers of all ages, ranging from 5 to 65. She has enjoyed watching my students grow in their love of music and embrace the opportunities that come from it. She was so proud to see one of her students successfully audition for his middle school musical because of the confidence voice lessons gave him. She has played piano for over 15 years and recently taught beginner piano lessons with Good Grooves Music Lessons and Therapy (August 2020-May 2021). In New York she works as Employee Relations Associate at Bloomberg LP (since February 2022). |
