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.

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

Instruments: Piano Voice
Lesson plans are catered to the needs and level of each individual student. For younger students with maturing voices, I generally work on basic technique like breathing and posture. I will teach solfege and simple songs that help develop the young singer's ear and a relationship to their voice. For more mature voices, typically above the age of 16, I begin to approach more technical areas of singing like vowel formation, breath energy and management, agility, legato, vocal registration, and a more detailed understanding of the physical anatomy behind singing.

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.

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 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.
