Kaytie Cook is an award-winning harpist, pianist, and talented music teacher. She has been playing the piano since she was four years old and began her study of the harp at age six. Her interest in music began as a simple curiosity regarding such large instruments and quickly turned into a passion for performing and a desire to bless the lives of others through music. Kaytie has competed in the 2022 Lyon and Healy Awards, the 2021 International Harp Competition in Israel and was a prizewinner in the American Harp Society National Competition in 2017 before serving as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Bahía Blanca, Argentina for 18 months. She has been given the opportunity to perform throughout the United States, Canada, Argentina, Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Italy. Kaytie not only has extensive experience competing with the harp but has also been the recipient of numerous first-place prizes for piano and voice competitions throughout Arizona.
She has frequently performed as the principal harpist in the Brigham Young University Philharmonic Orchestra, the Brigham Young University Chamber Orchestra, University of Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the Toronto Youth Symphony, the Phoenix Youth Symphony, and with various chamber and orchestral groups throughout Arizona, Utah, Europe, and Ontario, Canada. She is currently a performer in the group Timp Musicians in Utah County. She discovered a deep passion for teaching early on, which led her to open up a private music studio. Kaytie is currently working towards a bachelor’s degree in Harp Performance with a double major in Spanish Studies and a minor in Family Life at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
