Harmonizing Parenthood and Music: Katie's Journey

The thing that I think we've all reflected on is that it makes for some pretty awesome kids because they're just they do. They like being a part of that and kind of doing what mom and dad do.
Imagine balancing the demands of a career as a professional classical musician while raising two children. That's exactly what Katie and her husband are doing, and they wouldn't have it any other way. Meeting in college, the couple always knew their lives would involve constant travel and long hours, but they’ve embraced the chaos with a sense of adventure.
In this episode of 'Birds In A Tree', Katie shares the highs and lows of their unique lifestyle, from the thrill of performing in different cities to the challenges of teaching their own kids while also being educators to many others. She offers a candid look at what it’s like to go into labor just before an important solo and the joy of introducing their children to the world of classical music.
With stories about finding last-minute childcare on busy Saturday nights and the fun their kids have staying in hotels, Katie’s journey is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of parents everywhere. Tune in to hear how this family harmonizes their love for music with the demands of parenthood, creating a life filled with melody and shared experiences.
