Patterson Barrett—Executive Producer, Director
With more than 15 years of experience in instructional audio recording, Patterson Barrett
has developed a strong understanding of the budget issues, schedule urgency, and specific instructional content needs of educational
publishers. His rich and diverse career as a musician, award-winning commercial music composer/producer, and recording engineer
brings an artistic perspective to his production style. Patterson’s ear for casting the right voice, his knowledge of
the American school audience’s sensibilities, and the high technical quality of his work distinguish his productions.

State University. As a media developer and a classroom teacher, Kathy views projects from both the publisher’s and end-user’s
