“Kat brought with her a solid training of language, poetry, and music, which allowed her to relate to all grade level students. ”

“I have rarely met a more passionate, clear-thinking individual...Ms. Baum uses her talents in language and music in a powerful way to facilitate creativity and healing in others.”

“Students gravitate towards her charisma, and her talent, dedication, and integrity always leave a lasting impression on any audience.”

“As someone who got first hand experience with watching Kat’s residency program, I would highly recommend her to any school or service group. Baum was able to capture every student’s attention and truly engage each kid individually to really awaken their creative sides.”

“During my time of instructing art programs at Canyon Hills Center and working with at-risk students, often the students’ participation all depends on how the instructors can relate to the students. Within our first session together, Baum had already begun to build a relationship with the kids through music and lyric writing. So much so, that even after two months had passed, I still have students who ask about Kat.”

“It was an honor, and a fun time getting to work with Kat. Her use of story-telling through lyrics and creative writing was the perfect exercise for students who are at-risk, and I hope that someday she can return to CHC for another residency.”
