Kathryn Woodard is an American pianist, scholar and educator. She specialises in the interpretation of music by composers from Turkey and East Asia.[1][2][3][4] Woodard's scholarly research has focused on timbral experiments in piano music and on the works of Turkish composers such as Ahmed Adnan Saygun (1907-1991).[5][6] As an educator she specializes in working with musicians who seek relief from injuries and an increased awareness of the body in motion.[7][8]
