Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Organ Synthesizer Music Keyboard
I teach with a very casual approach. It's not a science or math class. ( I guess it actually is in all regards ). Different student have different needs. I believe in finding out a students wants. I had a younger student who wanted to Zeppelin on the Alto. "Okay" So I showed the student exactly what to do. He had no knowledge of music but I knew that if he enjoyed it, he'd keep playing and playing. 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
I am classically trained but I also compose music extensively on a daily basis . I have had a life long passion for music and started playing when I was eight years old. I am currently the pianist for the ballet program at Macalester College, LIse Houlton's professional class at MDT, the Metropolitan Ballet, and Ballet Minnesota. Growing up I studied 10 years with Yakov Gelfand, Phd from St. Petersburg Conservatory. I also studied in Hungary with Gulays Istvan, professor at the Franz List Conservatory in Budapest. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Euphonium Mallet Percussion
Additionally, I like students to work on solos with piano accompaniment, although I don't require it. I am also a big fan of using duets to build listening skills and fluidity (and most students think duets are fun!). For piano lessons, I have experience with a variety of methods; each has its strengths and weaknesses. If a student is already using a particular method, we can continue with that if it seems to be working well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Organ Synthesizer Euphonium French Horn Tuba Oboe Keyboard
Traditional but relaxed, with the goal of helping the students to reach their maximum level by building on success. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it’s important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my student at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students’ desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more.By trying to find out what inspires the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I am very personal in the way I handle my lessons! You come to me and tell me what you are looking to learn or accomplish and I will put together a plan to make that happen. I work with a lot of artists on their original music as well, getting them ready for recording the music or performing live. I also teach from a holistic approach taking into account many different elements that affect vocal health / performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe
As a teacher, I've learned so much from my colleagues and peers, but likely not as much as I've learned from my students. I've found that some teaching practices are outdated and I think I can bring a fresh and modern perspective to teaching music. I like to base my lessons around the student's natural curiosity and desire for learning music. Whether that be trying to play in the school band or wanting to learn a Led Zeppelin song, I believe that giving my students this ability to make their own decisions, helps them become more confident, motivated, and passionate about succeeding as a musician as well as in their own personal lives.

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.
