Katherine has always played both oboe and recorder to a high standard and feels that one inspires the other. Whilst being a Principal Study Oboist, she has continued her recorder studies at the Royal Academy of Music (RAM) with Pamela Thorby and Anna Stegmann. She was previously taught by Marion Scott (English Baroque Soloists with John Eliot Gardner, and Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Currently Head of Department at the Centre for Young Musicians), and under her guidance gained an ATCL Diploma with Distinction in 2012.

Katherine is a former member of the National Youth Recorder Orchestra which included performances in Birmingham Town Hall, the Sage Gateshead and the Adrian Boult Hall to name a few. She was also accepted onto the Gifted Young Recorder Players course supported by the Walter Bergmann Trust, part of the Society of Recorder Players. This was run by Tom Beets, a member of the Flanders Recorder Quartet.

Katherine has taken a very active role in the RAM recorder department, playing in masterclasses with Daniel Bruggen, Peter Holtslag, Susanne Fröhlich and María Martínez Ayerza. She has given chamber performances at Handel House and the Greenwich Early Music Festival. She also performed with the RAM consort at Buckingham Palace. Her recorder chamber music performances include the première of In Feyre Foreste by Robin Haigh for which he became the youngest ever recipient of the British Composer Award. Katherine has also given a solo performance at the Greenwich Early Music Festival in conjunction with the Centre for Young Musicians and a concert with the Kent Society of Recorder players which included solo and chamber music works.

She was involved with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in the educational project OAE/Tudor TOTS. Katherine is also participating in the Open Academy project at RAM with the recorder department in 2018.
