My teaching style is based on each student's needs. Some students like to learn at a fast pace and others like to go slower. I listen carefully and ask questions, basing instruction on what creates success. My approach is to make learning fun. I bring markers and stickers and other visual aids to create a unique learning process. I like to use games and sayings to help remember things, many of which I've developed over the years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
My main method is to be in the middle between having a discipline, encouraging to practice regularly, stay focused but at the same time to remain curious about the process and not let the students develop the habit where they need to practice because they need to. With some older students I try to be somewhat specific and explain what are the things we are working on, why we are working on this, and how to archive it. Read More

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 music.

Instruments: Piano
I teach students technique, theory, Classical repertoire, and also whichever contemporary pieces they would like to learn. I can learn almost any style and teach it by ear. So in a typical lesson we will start with some scales or technique, move on to some Bach or Mozart, and then try something by ear. Some examples of songs I’ve been working on with students lately are: Chopin c minor Waltz, Sibelius opus 76 Etude, Prince purple rain, Motley Crew home sweet home, Duke Ellington A train, and La Nieve-which my own composition- But classical training is the basis where it all starts Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
For beginners, I like to start with getting to know the keys and their patterns. There are 7 different white keys and 5 different black keys and once you figure out the pattern, it becomes easy to identify the keys on the piano. After that, I like to touch over basic music theory i.e. identifying sharps and flats, intervals, structures of scales, etc. I also like to teach my students how to read sheet music and flashcards (which I have) have helped a numerous amount of times with that.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums
My name is Jeehoon. I’ve studied voice performance over 15 years in Korea and the United States. In 2018, I completed and received a doctoral degree at the University of Minnesota. For 15 years, I conducted church and professional choirs and participated in many performances as an opera singer on stage. Through these experiences, I was able to know how to sing naturally and comfortably without any artificial sound. It ultimately became my goal when I teach my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
I have been playing the flute for over 25 years and have been in teaching/a therapist for at least 18 years. I currently work in a charter school with students ranging in age from K-5th grade, many with multiple disabilities. I have worked, in the past with students that were younger and those that are more advanced in age. I approach each lesson with the indiviuals focus in mind. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Fiddle
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master on my instrument is improvisation. Recently I have been practicing improvisation both in the Bluegrass and Jazz genres on the violin, and it takes a lot of practice and creativity to be able to think quickly and put your ideas into action.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I practice, I liked to begin by warming up. Whether it's practicing violin, guitar, piano, or voice, I like to do some body stretches because it's important to get your whole body aligned and ready to focus. Then, I do some scales or simple exercises. During the bulk of the session, I like to focus on parts of my pieces that are difficult. I break them down and play them more slowly, and often put the melodies to different rhythms to help get the songs in my fingers. Using a metronome to keep the time and slowly increase the speed can be very helpful as well. I like to really delve into my practice, giving myself at least an hour to focus.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For beginners, I use the Essential Elements for Strings books. I choose this method because it gives a very logical and strong foundation on position techniques and note reading. Then, once the student has begun to explore this side of written music theory, I like to introduce ear training techniques. I was partially trained in Suzuki violin, a method where you largely learn by ear. As an instrumentalist who is very comfortable both reading music and learning by ear, I know how crucial it is to have both skills. This makes you a much more versatile musician in that you are both listening carefully to the music you play and playing it precisely.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was 5, I knew that I wanted to play the violin. My father and older sister both played, and I was extremely inspired by that. I loved the sweet sound of the instrument, and the fact that you could play "fiddle" music on it too.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
In high school, after a rigorous series of auditions, I was extremely proud to be selected as a first violinist for the NAfME All Eastern Orchestra (an orchestra consisting of players all over the East Coast).
At age 20, I wrote, produced, and released my first recording project called Trust a Dream. The process of conducting a band and bringing my vision to life is the musical moment I am the most excited and proud of in my life thus far.
In 2018, I was also selected both in the Spring and the Fall as a Finalist in the International John Lennon Songwriting Competition. It was extremely fulfilling to be recognized internationally for my work as a songwriter.
