Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Fiddle Keyboard
I am familiar with all teaching methods, both American and European. I use the combination of both. In general I teach scales, reading music, learning to sight read, metronme training, along with muscle development and strengthening. I teach all styles of music for both strings and piano and have had very successful students young and old. Specifically for violin, I teach the Dounis method for more advanced students preparing for auditions, scholarships etc. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I firmly believe in the fact that each student possesses his/her optimal way of learning, and I strive to discover that method and tailor my approach as such. I also believe in tried and true method books and use just the right one for each student, based, on his/her age, ability level, etc. I also believe in helping each student get the most out of lessons, including pure enjoyment and fun.

I use generally use Faber and Faber for piano and the Yamaha method for guitar. However, each student learns differently therefore I like to meet and assess the needs before choosing a course to follow. For band students, I use the school's chosen method of instruction supplementing with theory, technique and performance pieces. For piano students, I get to know each student's taste in music and choose accordingly. I encourage my voice students to learn a varied repertoire of classical, folk songs, Broadway and pop if they desire. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice
I started teaching voice in college and have taught piano in high school. For each I have about a little over year of experience. I want my students to use their musical skills as much as possible to give them motivation to practice and satisfaction in their newfound abilities. I feel that each piece and performance is an opportunity to branch out and try new things. Teaching is, for me, an opportunity to create positive change in others. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I start usually with Piano Adventures by Nancy and Randall Faber including Technique and Artistry Book, Theory book and Lesson Book . Additional solo repertoire might include Faber books on Jazz and Blues or Musical Theatre or Classics for children. Adults may start with Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course. I tend to custom the lesson plans related to the students interests too . I try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction to keep the lessons uplifting and inspiring no matter what the ability level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Throughout the past 10 years, I have taught neighborhood kids and friends how to play the piano both beginning and intermediately. I like to encourage everybody that consistency is the key to learning (for beginners). Not necessarily practicing for long periods of time, but frequently. Better to practice for 10-15 minutes three to five times per day than for an hour or two all at once. I've found that the best foundation comes from scales. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A practice is different according to the purpose. If you want to work for performance including concert or opera. You have to study a lots of things. For example, foreign diction (Italian, French, German etc.) are very important. Each language has a different accent and intonation. Those things should be trained many times. After that singers can be allowed to sing. Second, if singers want to practice their sound I strongly recommend to use natural voice through humming, lip trill, pure vowels.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I normally used to use a vocal pedagogy book as a reference. However, students do not need to use it. It will be used for making them understand specific terms. There are good example about our body. Also, the most useful information is that the book explains wrong information about teaching singer. It helps me to fix students who have bad habit. Second, for better understanding, I generally used video from youtube or NATS website (Nation Association of Teachers of Singing).
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to study voice after praying a lots. During the prayer, God told me He wants me to praise Him. So, I was really inspired Him. That makes me to make strong decision.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
When I was young my goal was being a math teacher. So, if I didn't study music I might be a math teacher.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My music background is basically from church. So, I love to listen to christian music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I can play several instruments. The first instrument was a piano. i started to learn it when I was really young. Other instruments are a guitar and a drum. I participated church band since I have been middle school student. I really enjoyed it as singing.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream role is Rigoletto in Opera "Rigoletto." It is hard to find title role for the baritone. This opera is one of them and require high technique. Furthermore, this opera have been loved by audiences in the world. Fortunately, I performed this opera a couple of years ago and I got good review by Twin Cities Art Reader. However, I didn't perform with orchestra. So, if I have one more chance to sing that role I want to perform with the orchestra.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
D.M.A. University of Minnesota, Voice performance
M.M. University of Texas at Austin, Voice performance
M.M. Myoungji University, Voice performance
B.M. Myoungji University, Voice performance
I have four degrees for voice performance in Korea and America. To get those degrees, I spent 15 years for studying. Even though it took long time I was able to know how to sing well.
