 "What Catherine LeGrand has developed is quite unique and
interesting: she works on bodily processes to improve tone,
articulation, and musical expression.
The breathing, articulation, and vibrato exercises she demonstrated
with our students have been exceptionally beneficial both to me and
to the students. We can already tell a huge difference in the
playing habits of our students. Catherine has helped me to refine my
own listening skills as I try to identify exactly what she is
listening for as she works on tone quality with each student.
It is fascinating to experience someone operating on an extremely
high level of awareness while working with young musicians. She is
inspiring to watch.
I highly recommend Catherine LeGrand to you for band clinics and
masterclasses without reservation!

"Having worked in tandem with Catherine LeGrand over the past two decades, the
best student musicians that I have been privileged to produce during my
twenty-seven year career as a band director have been those who were taught
cooperatively by the two of us. Her students reap the benefits of inventive
flute pedagogy, an insightful approach to efficient breathing and use of the
body, in addition to artistic interpretation that can only described as "right
on".
Catherine has much to offer to my entire band also as a clinician that has a
great grasp on the physical, technical, psychological and musical aspects of
performance, and the students all enjoy working with her.
Catherine LeGrand has been a great inspiration to me and to my students through
her master classes, private lessons and band clinic sessions, as well as through
her wonderful solo recordings."

“I have worked with Catherine for 15 years now, and I am continually amazed at
her ability to help students and teachers improve every aspect of rehearsal and
performance. I have never met a more perceptive and innovative person. Both
students and their teachers will highly benefit from Catherine’s help, and I
strongly urge you to take advantage of her abilities!”

 “Just a note to say Thank You! When you came and listened to both the concert
band and wind ensemble, your comments were very insightful. The way of looking
at the music through breathing made me think and certainly helped both bands. It
was amazing to hear the difference after you made your suggestions!
Your work with our flute section was wonderful. I could hear a difference in
their sound and intonation after the first help session.”

“I
have studied with Catherine and watched her
teach for more than ten years. I never cease
to be amazed by her approach to teaching
fundamental concepts of flute playing and
musicianship. She routinely finds innovative
and highly effective ways to teach the same
concepts. The most joyous part is that
students are able carry out their intentions
in the music.
Regardless of the level of the student - a
young beginner, an adult amateur, a college
student, or a seasoned professional - she is
able to help them sound better, feel more
comfortable physically, and gain confidence
both in playing and in life. Catherine is
always able to describe the big picture of
the task at hand and then lead the student
to improve their approach to playing.”
