Meet Katie McDonald – Our New Flute Specialist!

It only took a few months of being on the job, but I think it’s finally time for an introduction! My name is Katie McDonald, and I’m the new Flute Specialist here at Paige’s Music. I started here back in July 2023, and I am so excited to be here and to get to work with some incredible flutists in Indiana! In 2020, I graduated with my Master in Music Performance degree at the University of Louisville, where I studied with Kathy Karr. Since graduating, I’ve been building a flute studio in the Southern Indiana area where I still teach today, and I’ve been playing first flute with the Indiana University Southeast Concert Band. As a flute teacher myself, I think it is so fun to get to work with students and professionals and be a part of their musical journeys in helping them find their next flute! I am a dog mom to two giant Great Pyrenees named Polar and Bear (yes they really do look like polar bears!). Bear especially likes to lay at my feet while I play the flute. When I’m not working here or teaching, you can find me kayaking, hiking, knitting, or reading a
