My name is Kate Bright, and I am a music teacher from central Pennsylvania. I am certified in Orff Schulwerk and have a Master's Degree in Kodály Music Education from the American Kodály Institute. I have traveled, both physically and virtually, across the country to give workshops on how I teach my students to be creative and active musicians.
