Music making and teaching has been my passion since I was young. In 2020, I graduated from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor with a Bachelor of Music in Choral Music Education. As a child, I participated in choir for 8 years and was in the University of Michigan's University Choir and Orpheus Singers. I began taking private voice lessons at a late age (17 years old) and became a professional musician, so I know that it is possible to be successful even when starting later in life! Read More

I still try to get my claws in their head to perform with the band however.... Any instrument you take on is like an exercise routine.

Also, on the professional outlook, It's much easier than people think to make money in music. You must expose yourself and create a promo pack. Read More

I also have been teaching Suzuki Method (K-12) strings at a local arts school and also at a Korean community center. I am currently teaching music subject at school as well. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern pop music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the violin and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

Instruments: Voice Bass Guitar Double Bass

For beginners I like to start with the basics of how the voice works and the proper techniques to use it.
