Kathi studied at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in San Francisco, CA, under Julliard graduate, Mac McCray. Before that, Kathi performed, traveled and recorded in a contemporary christian band as keyboarist and background vocalist. Kathi started teaching private piano and voice lessons while at the Conservatory, and found that she really enjoyed it. In 1989, she found herself with so many students, she decided to hire some of her advanced adult students to help teach, and thus Melody Music Studios was started.
As Melody Music Studios began to grow, she decided to expand to all instruments and voice, and in 2001 opened multiple cities across the country. Kathi has a love for music, and believes that, while learning an instrument or voice should be challenging, it should also be fun and positive for the student as he/she begins their musical journey.
