Ses excellents résultats lors des évaluations annuelles de l'Association des Ecoles de Musique de l'Etat de New York lui ont permis d'obtenir des bourses d'études auprès de professeurs renommés comme Lois Wann à New York, Michael Winfield à Londres et avec Marc Liefschy à San Francisco. Ces enseignements, très divers, ont permis à Kathryn d'acquérir une culture, assez rare, tout à la fois américaine et européenne.

The magnificent interweaving of harmonies and dialogue-like Voices in Handel’s For Unto Us A Child Is Born make it a perfect addition to the festive choral repertoire. German-born British Baroque composer George Frideric Handel originally composed this piece in 1741 for the English-language oratorio Messiah which eventually became one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music. As the last song of Scene 3 of Part I of the oratorio which addresses Isaiah's specific prophecy about the virgin birth of a Messiah For Unto Us A Child Is Born tells the news of Christmas thebirth of a son in Isaiah’s words as found in the Scripture (Isaiah 9:6). The delicate familiar theme is introduced by the Sopranos and taken up by their counter-voices the Tenors later the same dialog is given over to the Altos and Basses. The tutti culminates in 'Wonderful' 'Counselor' 'The Mighty God' 'The Everlasting Father' and 'The Prince of Peace'.
