Free Spirit with Heart
Today I will believe anything is possible...through God's grace. Today I will be too calm for worry,
too noble for anger
and too strong for defeat.
Today I will walk through fear without hesitation.
Today, I will stand for something.
Today, I will make a difference.
Long after leaving the pressures of piano competition, and more than 25 years of personal transitions and many life lessons, Kathryn finally returned to the piano for catharsis, expressing her heartfelt truths through her music with the belief that musical vibrations which are emotionally positive can reach the heart and improve how we feel and also relate to each other. Based on the results of scientific auditory research which reveal how emotional resonance can be felt through music, she hopes that her music can evoke a sense of comfort, personal healing and spiritual connection. Kathryn is also involved with a non-profit organization called Healing With Harmony, whose philosophy echoes her own, comforting the mind, body and spirit through music.
Solo Piano Publications Reviewer Kathy Parsons writes: "Hope for Harmony is a gorgeous debut from pianist/composer Kathryn Toyama. Gentle, subtle, and very soothing... the music has the spontaneous feeling of improvisation, and much of it is more ambient than melodic, setting a mood of quiet yet intense peacefulness... so effortlessly floats on a cloud of sound.... Passionate yet serene, the music follows the path of a spiritual journey that hopes for harmony within each individual and reaches out to global peace through acceptance and tolerant understanding."
As an artist expressing her deepest truths, Kathryn feels that the depth of her reality can only be captured by recording it “in the moment” and preserving each original expression from start to end, just as a live acoustic performance would be recorded without any creative alterations or enhancements. She feels that the most honest performance she can give is to keep the integrity of each composition by recording each track without any digital editing. Kathryn composes her music by letting the melodic structure develop intuitively. She says that before the melody can come to her, she must first open her heart, and then her musical expression begins to unfold. In today's wonderful digital era, recording artists are blessed with the liberty to edit and enhance their compositions, but it is important to Kathryn as an artist, to offer the entire truth of her artistic expression.

and set your feet-like-flint. And now declare, this is Healthy Ground,

Hi Kathryn! People are loving your CD that i play here on my job regularly! You remain in my prayers.
I appreciate you so much!
Shouldn't every day be a celebration?Another day that the Lord has mercifully allowed, in the hope of saving even just a few more souls. How about this so called "Thanksgiving?" Is it about pilgrims and Indians? Turkeys? Family? The word itself reminds me of what I do everyday. Each time I wake up from sleep I give thanks. Each time I come home from anywhere including work or the store I give thanks. Each time I indulge in a meal I give thanks. Each time I receive grace I give thanks. Each time I perceive love I give thanks. In my opinion, mankind needs to really begin to take a long good look around. The world just ain't that complicated. Can technology stop a tornado? Those who know truth should speak it. Samuel Johnson stated this "Unless a man has courage, he has no security for preserving any other virtue." Courage is the basic virtue. Of what use is wisdom if you don't have the courage to act wisely? Of what value is love if you don't have the courage to love?Of what value is truth is you don't have the courage to speak it? Of what consequence is faith without the courage to embrace it? God is real!
