Hello, my name is Kate Harmony (née Kate Haddow). I've been singing and playing music for about three decades.
I studied voice and piano through my teenage years, accompanied by regular solo performances and choral concerts. As an adult, I studied popular music theory through the London College of Music and achieved a Distinction at Grade 8 (the highest grade).
I then undertook formal teacher training from Ray in 2014, who also trained me to teach his Hack Music Theory method; I'm the only person on the planet he's trained to teach his method! Following that, I went on to study vocals through the Berklee College of Music.
Back in 2006, I embarked on a life-changing charity trip to Botswana in Africa. It was there that I discovered the true power of music! On returning to Canada, I immersed myself even deeper into the singing world and began working with choirs, improvisation groups, and non-profits.
This eventually lead me into the world of holistic singing. As part of my exploration into the role that singing plays in the mind/body connection, I studied yoga and did my teacher training at Yandara Yoga Institute in Baja, Mexico.
For the last few years I've been teaching and performing in a variety of contexts, from festivals to churches, but nowadays I'm excited and grateful to be working full-time on Hack Music Theory with the love of my life.
Also, all the craziness in the world over the last couple years inspired us to embark on a journey to read the Bible from start to finish in 2022. It's a BIG book, but it's also the only true instruction manual for coping with all this madness :)
