WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Ryan Diefenderfer, Director of Bands at Paradise Valley High School
Kasey is a very warm and fun person to be around. She imbues
positive energy and enthusiasm for learning and teaching. She is friendly
to and eager to work with colleagues. She readily takes on responsibilities,
is kind and dedicated to her students, and will put in the work to reflect and
continue to grow as an educator.
Chad Nicholson, Director of Bands at University of Arizona
I have found Kasey to be mature, thoughtful, honest, and an excellent communicator. In short, Kasey has exhibited the traits necessary for effective teaching. I would certainly entrust her to teach my own children, and I give her my full support in all of her endeavors.
Jason Carder, Trumpet Professor at The University of Arizona
Her enthusiasm for helping others matches her gift for the trumpet. She was always
the first to offer help to the less experienced players in the UA trumpet studio. As
the principal trumpeter and section leader in Wind Symphony, Kasey successfully
galvanized the other students to musical excellence through after-school sectional
rehearsals.
