THE WORKSHOPS

For singers, instrumentalists, and performers of all disciplines.

These four quintessential workshops comprise the most potent principles and processes I have learned and developed over 30+ years of singing, performing, collaborating and coaching extraordinary performers. Each workshop presents a prism through which we can deeply explore singing, performing, moving, and the very nature of our instruments. As we proceed through each specific entry point, we access the broader network of our movement, our art and our lives.

TESTIMONIALS

“The Resonance Workshop was much more than I was expecting. I was presented with a method of grounding and releasing one’s fullest sound without getting in its way, and then also wonderful imagery with tiny movements to shape formants into musical phrases.”

– Andrea Young Vocalist, Performer, Composer
Lecturer in the Composition Faculty, University of Auckland / Waipapa Taumata Rau

“The Molgato workshop in particular is so rich in fundamentals, it feels like a realignment from the inside out in the gentlest, but most effective way. The amount of information presented is both staggering and deeply helpful, and is immediately applicable in the coaching component. This type of intensely researched, accurate, and performer-specific information just isn’t offered anywhere else I know about with such ease and frank joy.”

– Rainelle Krause Soprano & Aerial Artist
Royal Danish Opera, Dutch National Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Theater Basel, The Metropolitan Opera, English National Opera’s BBC Proms

“The Articulation Workshop was welcoming and friendly, low-key in atmosphere and high-powered in terms of the coaching results Kate was able to rapidly tease out; as a person and as a teacher she is extremely respectful of exactly where the participant is, with no sense of pressure or forcing of any kind. A very safe place.”

– Karen Sadek
Master Practitioner MDH Breathing Coordination & Teacher of the Alexander Technique

“Kate is a master of guiding workshop participants through accurate, actionable, and essential information that is able to be embodied and put into practice immediately.”

– Molly McLaughlin Integrative Flute Instructor & Performer
Experience-Registered Yoga Teacher, Somanaut, End of Life Guide

“Kate is a bubbly and highly skillful facilitator. She’s found ways to distill what’s complex into something accessible and joyful in the moment. With quick, helpful cues, and also deep, comprehensive descriptions, she provided a high level of value + presence, even in a virtual container. Her Resonance Workshop helped awaken aspects of my singing that I hadn’t previously had access to – even with over 20 years of training. I left the workshop with a renewed sense of empowerment around the magical nature of singing / what it means to have a body, and I look forward to integrating the practices into my performance and teaching work moving forward.

– Amy Dabalos Vocalist, Songwriter
Voice & Speech Coach
