HoSey
An active educator and performer, Kaitlin Hosey is native to Meridian, MS and has been teaching horn since 2015 with Hosey Horn Studio while maintaining a diverse performance career. Recently, Kaitlin worked as an assistant band director at Lakeshore Public Schools (2020-2022) in Stevensville Michigan where she taught grades 5th-12th. While in Michigan she played fourth horn with the Holland Symphony Orchestra (2018-2022) and subbed for regional orchestras: La Porte Symphony, Battle Creek Symphony, Elkhart Symphony, and Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra. She also performed in various chamber music recitals throughout Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin.
Her private horn studio is made up of beginning to advanced students looking to achieve personal goals while being a part of a supportive group of peers. Collectively students and alumni have participated in regional youth orchestras, Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, Blue Lake International, Interlochen Summer Arts Camp, Interlochen Center for the Arts Boarding School, Western Michigan University: Seminar, YoungArts National Foundation, Honors Performance Series: Carnegie Hall, MS Lions All State Band, and the National Youth Orchestra-USA. In 2019, the studio formed a horn choir led by Mrs. Hosey called the Ugly Sweater Horn Ensemble that performed a pre-concert Christmas program at Lakeshore High School.
In 2013, after studying horn with Dr. Patrick Richards at Jones College, Kaitlin graduated from The University of Southern Mississippi where she studied with Dr. Heidi Lucas and Dr. Jacquelyn Adams earning a Bachelor's in Music Education. Her two most memorable experiences at Southern were performing with the remaining Beach Boys and percussionist/actor John Stamos and at the 46th International Horn Symposium in London, England with the USM horn octet.
In 2016, Kaitlin accepted a graduate assistantship from Western Michigan University where she earned her Master’s degree in horn performance studying with Dr. Lin Foulk Baird. While at Western, she was named winner of the IHS Mid-North Horn Workshop: Solo Horn Competition held at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Furthermore, Kaitlin attended the Fresh Inc Festival hosted by Fifth House Ensemble where she performed a piece for solo horn in the Milwaukee Art Museum and participated in chamber music recitals in Racine/Kenosha, Wisconsin and Chicago, Illinois.
Mrs. Hosey will continue to bring the best education and opportunities to all current and future students as it is her personal goal to set a solid foundation in the next generation of music educators and musicians. Outside of music she enjoys spending most of her time with her amazing husband Joel either gardening, relaxing on the beach, or around family. The Hoseys are expecting a sweet baby girl in November, Ms. Ella Grace Hosey, and looks forward to raising her near family and friends.

Teaching Philosophy
As an educator of music, it is my belief that all students should be offered the opportunity to expand their minds through musical ensembles and music courses. Music is an outlet and resource for young minds to achieve self-growth, critical thinking skills, and positive self-evaluation. These are only a few fundamental skills that are key to guiding our students into becoming an augmented version of themselves. It is also a strong belief as a teacher that I steadily grow in my musicianship and educator-ship by maintaining practice, ensemble participation, and pedagogical research.
Music teachers, who lack musicianship and educator-ship, tend not to set musical goals for their program, private studio, and/or individual student. Often, the lacking educator does not allow students to have opinions, creative ideas, authentic musical performance, or music listening experiences. In this case, the educator’s only goal is to function together for sound production. This is unacceptable, teachers should be guides/mentors that give students advice that support individual efforts and encourages young musicians to exceed expectations. Students should be allowed to contribute and play an active role in their OWN learning experience. Music is a two way street between the ensemble and the conductor; between the guide and the guided. Mutual respect will engender art. |
