 Preschool of Rock Welcomes Katie Ortiz

We are super excited to introduce you to our newest teacher, Katie Ortiz!

After being told at the age of seven that she was too young to begin voice lessons, Katie picked up her first instrument–the saxophone.  She has since retired from her sax days but has a love for many other instruments including guitar, banjo, piano, and most of all, for singing.

Katie grew up in Ridgewood, NJ, where she has many fond memories of sing alongs with her father.  Katie wrote her first songs while in elementary school and has deep gratitude for her earliest music teachers who listened to every composition she brought in.  It is this impact that has led Katie, now a singer/songwriter, to want to teach after studying Ethnomusicology at New York University.  She knows that song is good for the soul and believes in the power of making a joyful noise!

Katie is an active musician, fronting her band Young Monroe as well as singing with various collaborative groups all over New York City.  When she isn’t rocking out with little ones or performing onstage with her bands, she can frequently be found making music in one of NYC’s parks or street corners.
