Hello!

Karabeth Footman is excited to be the new Woodwind Instructor for the Leyden Music Department!

My Story

Karabeth Footman graduated from Elmhurst University in December 2025 with a degree in Music Education. During her time at Elmhurst, she served as the Symphonic Band Assistant for Brian Miller, was a student leader for Jazz Festival activities, and helped organize collegiate events for the 2025 Illinois Music Education Conference.

Her primary instruments are the E-flat saxophones, though she has experience performing and teaching across the woodwind family. Outside of music, Karabeth enjoys going to the gym, participating in martial arts, stargazing, photography, and remaining actively involved with the Elmhurst University Symphonic Band.

A few fun facts about Karabeth: she is originally from Colorado Springs, has visited the location where America the Beautiful was written, and appeared on international television as part of a marching band performance in 2022.
