I have a lots of teaching experience in Korea and America. Both experience made me to be a stronger teacher and how to approach people having different voice. My teaching experience was started from church background. I started vocal performance when I was 20 years old. At the same time, I started to conduct a church choir and a professional choir as a vocal instructor and a assistant conductor in Korea. Read More

I have always enjoyed teaching others. Even in high school, I consistently helped my peers with their learning and enjoyed helping them learn how to play percussion instruments. After starting college in 2009, I began formally teaching percussion privately and in groups at high schools in my area. I have since expanded to teaching guitar, bass guitar, and composition, incorporating compositional elements into all of my lessons. I have found that encouraging students to explore music through composing original material helps them in every other facet of learning music. Read More

My teaching experience can be dated back to high school, where I taught friends and family after school or in the summer. I started to take teaching music lessons seriously within the last couple of years. I love passing this onto my students and giving them the tools to succeed on guitar. I can see from the results of my teaching, that consistency is key. Every time we are having a lesson, I teach the student a new concept and elaborate on their prior knowledge. Read More

I try to strike a balance between music lessons being serious and being fun. I expect my students to practice almost every day and I expect that the parents will be part of keeping them accountable for scheduling that practicing. Lessons are a combination of learning technical skills and learning songs, which usually are mostly classical songs with a few contemporary songs thrown in for motivation. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Knew since I was a young kid. I knew that being a musician was my calling. Music ran in my blood just like we all need oxygen.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Nope just me I’m the music inclined child. My grandpa played lap steel guitar and my great grandma played guitar. I am the only one in my family to peruse a career in music .
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Piano cause I had to in college and love it. It helped me multi task better and read music. I would like to start learning to play bass

The entire guitar in general. Me I’ve been playing 23 years and still mastering the guitar after college and taking lessons from one of my college instructors
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Is he/she motivated and excited to learn. Ask them what songs they would like to learn. Let them know you won’t be a rock star over night. It takes a lot of dedication and disabling.
When will I start to see results?
First month or few weeks if you practice daily. I encourage my students to practice at least 20-30 min per day or Monday through Saturday and take Sunday to relax.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes all my college instructors and my teacher Zeb Cruikshank. I started taking professional lessons at age 8 which helped me develop different teaching techniques approaches and much more.

I knew since age of 3 I wanted to be on stage playing the guitar. My influence that started it all was listening to Billy Ray Cyrus Achy Breaky Heart on VHS

Kum pee du wee by Steve Vai. This piece shows mastery on the guitar. Another would be Beethoven Moonlight Sonata all on classical guitar. Such a masterpiece
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Bachelors in Guitar Performance cause I got to learn a vast variety of contemporary music and many styles over 5 years and music theory ear tracing as well as keys classes.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I start by stretching and then doing a chromatic exercise using fingers 1234 and alternating patterns and going into scales chord exercises and jamming to tracks to help develop my ear.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Hal Leonard William Lovett. These books helped me a ton when I was growing up and in college I’ve developed into a better player cause of these guitar authors.

All my Recital’s and performances. I am extremely proud on October 31 2021 I’ll be releasing my first solo album all composed originals and mixed and engined by myself. It is called A Universe of Sound

Take time breathe. Stretch before practice hands and body. Make sure your relaxed. Sit on a hard chair. Good posture. Take 5 minuets per exercise. Always stretch hands and muscles before playing.
