Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I am a dedicated and determined voice teacher, with a passion rooted in the desire to develop a healthy vocal technique. In 2022, I graduated with my Masters of Music in Vocal Performance from Binghamton University. Over the past ten years, I have spent time performing on stage in concerts, operas, and musical theatre. Some highlights of my singing career include touring through parts of Austria and Italy, working with music professionals from Juilliard, and competing in the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet
As a highschooler I was very motivated to help the young musicians of the Middle School. I would dedicate a period of my day to running sectionals and teaching students in the Middle and High School. Though I was never paid for this work, as I was just fine doing it for free, I learned much about effective and ineffective ways of communication in teaching. During college I would help the youth prep school jazz band by being a behavior role model, playing in the section, and running sectionals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone
I began teaching when I was a freshman in High School and I continued with a full-time load of students throughout all four years because of how much I loved it! Eventually adding some beginner adult students into my rotation of kids as well! I taught a few college level students throughout my college years whenever I could and took on summer students during my breaks! Now that I am done with college I am very excited to begin teaching students of all ages again and sharing my love and appreciation of music with them. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Technical exercises have many wonderful uses, but only when they are precisely selected or engineered for the learning path of the particular student. As a teacher, I feel that the student's personal curiosity and love for music must always remain at the center of any curriculum or practice plan. My lessons are all based on this conviction. I see it as my obligation and privilege to help students love what they learn and to learn what they love, and to do so with patience, generosity, and goodwill. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 8 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 5 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm an active and versatile piano instructor who loves working with students with motivation and wide-range of musical interest! I studied film scoring and piano performance with recognized pianists and composers in the field at Berklee and earned Bachelor degree in double majors and a minor. In my early age, I won piano competitions in Korea, which gave me an opportunity to perform in Taiwan. At Berklee, my performance study focuses on diverse genres such as jazz, classical, and world music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Drums Bass Guitar Organ Euphonium Tuba
Currently I use the Hal Leonard series which I believe is best for beginner and intermediate students. I typically give advanced students a variety of choices that best suites their playing style. It is important to keep the student focused while making lesson time enjoyable as well as educational. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Music
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the saxophone is the tone. Tone is the defining factor between good players and great players. A saxophone teacher once told me that he could tell the level of a player by their first three notes. I didn't believe him until I became a teacher and understood that tone has a huge role to play in a player's skill level. The saxophone allows for so much nuance in the sound. It takes years to develop your technique and there is no shortcut. You can instantly distinguish the amount of time someone has dedicated to their instrument (any instrument really) by their tone.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My music degrees are in Jazz and Jazz Studies. Though I am a big advocate for the study of Jazz, what really drew me to this major was the versatility that it allows. Jazz music has been a basis for so many other genres including pop, rock, RnB, soul, funk, etc. It also has its roots in classical music with Romantic composers like Debussy and Ravel. The level of ability required jazz improvisation far exceeds that of simply interpreting music. Jazz is a performance medium and a method of composition and theory that builds on Classical music. It encourages Musicology and Music History for more informed performance. Ultimately, I felt that I could get a more comprehensive education and more employment opportunities by studying jazz rather than other majors.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My primary instrument is saxophone. Before playing sax, I had learned piano, clarinet and trombone, respectively. My mother encouraged me to choose an instrument that she felt was more graceful for playing in a church. Luckily, it had also been a popular instrument with my friends at school so I was more inclined to switch. Having a late start made learning sax difficult though. I could not play a note for at least a week but when I finally did it, I was so excited for my very first step that I just had to continue. The rest is history.
When will I start to see results?
Depending on your skill level, you can see results in as little as one lesson. Beginners usually have a period of rapid growth at first and become disappointed once they've improved and don't see the same results. Realistically, the rate of growth slows as a player increases in skill level. It takes twice the work to get half as far. But don't forget! If you are at the intermediate level, how you sounded at your first lesson! Use your previous experience to encourage your growth and remember that consistent practice routines are essential for consistent growth.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
During my time as an undergrad, I felt that one teacher taught me more than I had ever learned before. He taught jazz theory, composition and arranging. Though I already had a decent understanding, this teacher really took my game to the next level. He was meticulous about feedback to students but always encouraging. He provided creative opportunities to have our compositions performed and recorded that fueled my passion for arranging and I still use the skills he taught on a daily basis. I can honestly say that his passion for teaching launched my musical career.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Develop a routine for practice that works for you in short sessions. Focus on one particular aspect of your playing to improve. For example, if one bar of music or one scale gives you the most trouble, work on only that for 10 minutes. Ten minutes of focused practice is better than an hour unfocused. Start by playing it as slow as you need to go without making a mistake. Gradually increase the tempo once you feel confident. If you make a mistake, decrease the tempo again. Avoid playing passages that you are comfortable with as they will waste valuable practice time (i.e. starting from the beginning over and over). Also, use creative approaches to practicing a passage such as playing it backwards, changing the rhythm, changing articulation. Your brain will learn to process the information differently allowing for better absorption of the material.
