Kathryn Lang

Kathryn Lang is a fourth-year student at Florida State University, where she is engaged in dual undergraduate studies in Instrumental Music Education and Flute Performance under the instruction of Dr. Mary Matthews and Dr. Karen Large. Kathryn has served her university’s NAfME chapter as Advocacy Chair and President, roles in which she has mobilized her chapter membership in service to the local community through the facilitation of FSU’s annual Pre-MPA festival, the organization of a pedagogical partnership program to the benefit of local high school students with visual and auditory disabilities, direction of fundraising efforts for instrumental programs at a Title I middle school, and leadership of several on-campus music education advocacy and awareness campaigns.

Kathryn was appointed to NAfME’s Collegiate Advisory Council as Member-At-Large Representative in 2025. As one of the first undergraduate students to serve on the Council, she hopes to represent the interests of NAfME’s preservice members. She serves with a strong belief that the mission of providing quality, comprehensive music education for all students begins with the task of equipping, supporting, and inspiring capable educators.
