Meet Katherine

A veteran teaching musician for over 20 years, Katherine Peters helps students, teachers, and fellow musicians learn, teach, and play better. She excels at packaging concepts into practical, applicable, useful strategies that can be delivered one-on-one in the studio or to a lecture hall full of musicians. The underlying message in her teaching: you can do this. Katherine is also a published composer/arranger. Her arrangements have been performed by middle and high school students, community ensembles, and church ensembles.


Katherine, her husband Matthew, and their daughter live in central Indiana. They sponsor a beautiful little girl in Nicaragua through Compassion International. Find out about Compassion here, and please consider releasing a child from the financial and emotional bondage of poverty.
