Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Starting with a couple of easy scales will teach the student how to position their hands properly and there they will learn how to cross their fingers as well. Even though a lot of this may not be "fun", it is the fundamentals of becoming a good piano player and will help tremendously in future lessons as well. After touching over all of that or even in the midst of it, I like to try to find a few beginning songs that will keep the student engaged and eager to learn more. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Fiddle Keyboard
My musical life has been extraordinary. Born in Mpls. MN, I attended the Aspen Musical Festival before my departure to Vienna Austria for Master studies in Violin/viola and piano. Scholarship intended for one year ended up a 25 year tenure, teaching, performing in Vienna and raising a family. I returned to the US to become executive director of a music school in MN. I was able to start new after school music programs for elementary schools throughout the district, start an orchestra program and open a theater program for kids. Read More

My teaching experience is fairly recent. I have been teaching for 3 years as a percussion instructor at Park High School and private lesson instructor for several students. I also recently started a 6 week summer program with Minnesota Internship Center teaching bucket drumming to several groups of kids. As a student, I have always had a big interest in teaching but once I started teaching myself, that interest quickly grew into a passion. Read More

I graduated from McNally Smith College of Music magna cum laude in 2011 with a bachelors in vocal performance. I played everywhere from Duluth. Minnesota to Lima, Peru: sharing the stage with artists as diverse as Andres Prado and Judi Donaghy. In addition to my McNally Smith Degree, I received master classes from Bobby McFerrin and the New York Voices. Passionate about giving back to the community, I instructed voice and piano students at the Urban Hub, a community center for inner city youth in Minneapolis MN. 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 Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba
For my advanced students (18+), depending on how advanced they are, I start them in the "First Book of _______ Solos" series. This series covers singing in English as well as several other languages and provides a good foundation for singing. Anything else I do with the student is on an individual basis. For younger brass students (10-14) I would teach out of the Standard of Excellence Books unless they are more advanced where I would start them in the Arbans Book, Robert Getchell Book, and/or Schlossberg Book.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Vocal chords are muscles which means it can be injured or raised. That is why the voice of people is getting changed according to their age. If you want to study professional vocal technique I honestly recommend to have lesson from teenagers because professional singing requires matured muscles. However, a basic mechanism can be learnt from young age and I strongly encourage to start voice lesson when they are young because bad habit is the hardest thing can be fixed when I have a private lesson.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, I did. I met him when I was in Korea. He is a good conductor and a good singer. When I joined a church choir, he gave me a chance to sing as a soloist many times. He said my voice is really special than others and he recommended to study voice. He gave a private lesson for free even though it was a short moment. He focused more on to teach how to enjoy singing. Also, he mentioned many times "if you enjoy your singing your musicality also can be shown with your body including facial expression. I was really inspired by him. So, I have been trying to doing it like him.
When will I start to see results?
As I mentioned above, muscles for singing are not visible by our eyes unlike other instruments. So, it is hard to get a result. Of course, some people would know their voice well in short time but others would not. Furthermore, if the student has a bad habit, it might take much more time to fix it. For this reason, I would say it takes much more time than other instrument. Generally, to get a goal or result, it takes around three months. So, if the student follow me with patient and enjoy their singing the time will be reduced.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For singers, it is hard to have practice over two hours. So, I strongly recommend to sing with soft and natural voice through humming sound many times. When we sing vocal folds works hard, especially when singers sing high notes vocal folds should have big pressure. So, if it happens many times the vocal folds will be injured. For this reason, I strongly recommend for them to sing with middle range. As I mentioned above, it is hard to see your instrument (voice). If students sing alone too much, especially with bad habit it causes bad result. So, it should be fulfilled carefully.

I just exchanged a Lowrey Organ for a Piano so I can take in home lessons. I have played around on the organ for years, and probably have lots to unlearn.
