About Me

Kara grew up in Oklahoma City and began playing the cello in 1999.  Kara continued this passion throughout school until she graduated from Putnam City North High School. Kara graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma in Spring 2013 with a Bachelors Degree in Music Performance.

While in high school, Kara was the assistant principal cellist sophomore and junior year in the symphony orchestra, and became principal cellist her senior year. During those years, her orchestra traveled to many competitions around the United States. In college, she had the honor of studying under Tess Remy-Schumacher for 5 years.   She was involved in string quartet, chamber orchestra, symphony orchestra as well as a cello trio.

Kara began teaching private cello lessons in 2006 and enjoys working with students of all ages and levels. In 2013 – Kara decided to focus all of her attention on her private cello studio and started with 6 students and grew to 59 students per week over the next 4 years. Students ranged from the ages of 5 – 63. Kara taught lessons during the school day at Edmond North High School, Cheyenne Middle School, Heartland Middle School, as well as Crossings Christian School Monday through Friday and taught private lessons at home after school.
