Having worked with Katie since 2011, it is apparent to me that she is meant to be in this industry! Her Talents extend far beyond onstage, with her musical direction receiving praise on the worlds stage at the World Championships of Performing Arts in 2016, and 2018. Katie is a fantastic leader who always strives for perfection: something what was made apparent to me in the build up to representing Ireland at WCOPA in 2018, where she lead our team to victory" Daniel Sinclair - Past Student/ Teaching assistant.

I've worked with her on many occasions and have always been left with a feeling of satisfaction and as if I've achieved something. Her work ethic blows me away, she's always so prepared, organised, and focused on what you need to get done. Katie will always listen to what you have to say, have your best interests at heart, and will help you achieve your goals. She is so easy to get along with and I always feel so comfortable working with her. I noticed such great improvements in my voice and performance skills since I began working with her. Highly recommend" Julia- Current Student |
"Having watched her performances for nearly ten years, it is clear to me that Katie was born to be onstage! Whether she is acting, dancing, or singing, she has always put her all into every performance and the countless awards she has to her name only backs up this point" Daniel Sinclair - Urdang
"Katie is a role model! I have trained with Katie most of my life and I am a completely different person now! She has helped me with so much. I have gained so much confidence in myself and my singing, I have also excelled in my piano because of her! She is an amazing teacher and a wonderful friend, I honestly couldn't have achieved anything without her! She has supported me with everything I have done! She is a credit to anyone who has the pleasure of working with her' Hannah Conlan- Student/ Teaching Assistant "Katie was one of my past singing and jazz teachers. She introduced me to my biggest lover- performing and musical theatre. Katie's passion for Musical Theatre shines through when she teaches and it is contagious. She thought me so many wonderful valuable lessons, audition tips, and much more that I still use today. I wouldn't be the performer I am today if it wasn't for all of Katies knowledge that she shared with me. I am Now currently studying in my dream Musical Theatre college Laine Theatre Arts in London, and if it wasn't for all of Katies help throughout the years I wouldn't be here today. Thank you so much for everything!!" Stacy Maher - Laine |
