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

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

Whatever type of music they are interested in playing, I find several examples to pull from that and use it as teaching material and relate it back to our foundational training. This keeps our lessons fun, engaging, and rewarding. For Drum set, I teach from Tommy Igoe's "Groove Essentials 1.0/2.0" and John Riley's "The Art of Bop Drumming". I encourage students to perform a recital but I like to stretch the definition of a "recital". Read More

For beginning students, I generally start with the Accent on Achievment book series and spend the first few lessons assessing and addressing the important fundamentals of the students' particular instrument. After working out of the book for an apropriate amount of time, I introduce solo repertiore from both pop and classical genres. I want my students to learn, but I want them to have fun and enjoy what they are learning. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A practice is different according to the purpose. If you want to work for performance including concert or opera. You have to study a lots of things. For example, foreign diction (Italian, French, German etc.) are very important. Each language has a different accent and intonation. Those things should be trained many times. After that singers can be allowed to sing. Second, if singers want to practice their sound I strongly recommend to use natural voice through humming, lip trill, pure vowels.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I normally used to use a vocal pedagogy book as a reference. However, students do not need to use it. It will be used for making them understand specific terms. There are good example about our body. Also, the most useful information is that the book explains wrong information about teaching singer. It helps me to fix students who have bad habit. Second, for better understanding, I generally used video from youtube or NATS website (Nation Association of Teachers of Singing).
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to study voice after praying a lots. During the prayer, God told me He wants me to praise Him. So, I was really inspired Him. That makes me to make strong decision.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
When I was young my goal was being a math teacher. So, if I didn't study music I might be a math teacher.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My music background is basically from church. So, I love to listen to christian music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I can play several instruments. The first instrument was a piano. i started to learn it when I was really young. Other instruments are a guitar and a drum. I participated church band since I have been middle school student. I really enjoyed it as singing.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream role is Rigoletto in Opera "Rigoletto." It is hard to find title role for the baritone. This opera is one of them and require high technique. Furthermore, this opera have been loved by audiences in the world. Fortunately, I performed this opera a couple of years ago and I got good review by Twin Cities Art Reader. However, I didn't perform with orchestra. So, if I have one more chance to sing that role I want to perform with the orchestra.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
D.M.A. University of Minnesota, Voice performance
M.M. University of Texas at Austin, Voice performance
M.M. Myoungji University, Voice performance
B.M. Myoungji University, Voice performance
I have four degrees for voice performance in Korea and America. To get those degrees, I spent 15 years for studying. Even though it took long time I was able to know how to sing well.
