Teens Spill All... Who is Coach K REALLY?

Skye "Coach K" Kooyman is the founder and CEO of Teen Pulse and known as a mentor to teens who are changing the world through the arts. She is also author of the book, Vitamin K for Drummers Today.

On her journey, Coach K has earned her Bachelor of Music Education Degree from the University of Redlands, coached drumlines, and served as a clinician to all levels of high-performing bands and music education programs throughout Southern California. In particular, San Bernardino County Honor Band, Los Osos High School Bands, Summit Intermediate School Bands, University of Redlands School of Music and more have benefited from her expertise.

Coach K's students have gone on to perform in honor bands, receive scholarships to such prestigious music camps as Idyllwilld Arts Academy. More importantly to Coach K, they develop a reputation for honesty, helpfulness, leadership, and ownership that is almost unheard of in the teen world.

As a percussionist and music educator in California, her passion and unique approach in both avenues have solidified her as an expert in inspiring teens to discover and develop their strengths so they, too, can create a huge positive impact on the world.
