About Kathryn


Bio

I have a master’s degree in voice from the Cleveland Institute of Music, and an undergrad in Vocal Performance from the University of Nebraska with a minor in theatre (graduated honorable mention from an Honors Program track, named Outstanding Senior by the faculty upon graduation.) I’ve been teaching private lessons in NYC for 10+ years, maintaining my own independent studio as well as teaching for some schools.

I have a master’s degree in voice from the Cleveland Institute of Music, and an undergrad in Vocal Performance from the University of Nebraska with a minor in theatre (graduated honorable mention from an Honors Program track, named Outstanding Senior by the faculty upon graduation.) I’ve been teaching private lessons in NYC for 10+ years, maintaining my own independent studio as well as teaching for some schools. I’ve sung classical music professionally also for 10+ years, and I’ve maintained a band that performs my original “indie singer-songwriter” music for that same amount of time. We’ve recorded several releases which are currently on streaming platforms, and we perform often at esteemed venues in NYC.

I teach all levels of voice, beginning guitar and beginning piano. I’ve taught ages 5-75! And I enjoy communicating with every different personality. I’m happy to meet people where they are with their skill level and move forward from there. My past students have gone on to achieve master’s degrees from distinguished colleges in music, entrance into fine arts high schools, auditions, formation and development of their own bands, and singing lullabies to their grandkids. If you have a desire to make music, then you should make it!

Approved Subjects

Guitar

Guitar

I am a good teacher of basic guitar to beginning-intermediate level students. We study note reading on the guitar, basic chords, strumming and finger-picking. I don't teach tablature. I've got a wide variety of repertoire to draw from, in order to meet your tastes where they are and have fun learning!
Piano

Piano

I have 10+ years teaching beginning-to-intermediate level piano students of all ages. We focus on note reading and technique from the ground up. I'm knowledgeable but I'm also patient, which is a good, non-intimidating combination!
Songwriting

Songwriting

I have years of experience performing original indie singer/songwriter music with my band, as well as recording and releasing this music (find Kathy Zimmer on any musical platform!) My own performance/writing experience combined with my musical education and a thoughtful, open ear make me a good coach.
Voice (Music)

Voice (Music)

I've had years of experience teaching singing lessons to all ages and levels of experience, in a variety of musical genres. I think good solid vocal technique is essential no matter what genre of music you're making, and I learned that technique for myself with a master's in music from the Cleveland Institute of Music and through tons of performing, also in a variety of musical genres.
