This is an adult-focused small ensemble for all woodwinds (clarinet, flute, oboe, bassoon, saxophone). We play around seven pieces each term, focusing on the essentials of chamber music: listening, working together, balance, and rhythmic integrity. We play classical, jazz, movie music, and pretty much anything else you can think of. We welcome anyone around an intermediate level, which is grade 3ish. However, all our music is arranged for each class so Katie can make it easier or harder, whatever you need. Feel free to contact us to get a sample of the music.

Katie Vedder

While working on her degrees, Katie travelled through Europe with the Boulder Youth Symphony and the Colorado Youth Symphony. She also played in Carnegie Hall with the Flint Youth Symphony and was the featured soloist with the Fort Lewis Percussion Ensemble, Fort Lewis Wind Symphony, Un Poco Trio and the Symphonic Anime Orchestra. She has played with multiple orchestras, bands, jazz bands and chamber ensembles. Now with her BA and MM in Clarinet Performance, Katie enjoys free lancing and teaching in North Yorkshire.

Katie’s first love has always been teaching. She interned at the Boulder Art’s Academy as a clarinet teacher in 2003 and 2004 before starting her own studio in 2005. Katie believes that all music should be fun first – life is too short to dislike what you are doing. In 2014 Katie started teaching over Skype. She has maintained an adult clarinet class in addition to her studio of both adult and grade school kids through today’s latest technology. You can find Katie’s educational publications as well as many of her arrangements on her website KatieMusicStudio.com.
