One of the very best... LeeAnn came to me as a doctoral student at the U. of O. already a fine player. She had much experience, but was very open to new ideas. She soon became one of the strongest members in my class, worked very well with others, and agreed to became my T. A. 
As a muscian LeeAnn is first rate. 

As a teacher LeeAnn is one of the very best. 
As a person they don't come any better.
-- Dr. Richard Trombley, retired prof. at the U. of O. School of Music


A performer with style, a command of her instrument, and a wide repertoire that reflects the depth of a marvelous background, LeeAnn’s flute playing does all you want from the range of expressivity to music’s particular control of time: calm, rich melodic force, virtuosity, humor, gravity, in all aspects a performer of great vitality and commitment.  The same holds for Ms. McKenna as teacher and pedagogue, in both ensemble and solo repertoire, a real attention to the full development of the musical potential and personality of each student.  
--Anne D. Young, D.M.. Lake Oswego Music Academy
