Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe
For beginning students, I typically start with the universal drum exercises every drummer should know, like the Ted Reed's book "syncopation" or the very classic "stick control". These exercises are mostly for warm ups, hand coordination, internalizing rhythm, and speed training. Depending on their musical background, I often like to introduce basic music theory concepts just so we are able to speak the same language. Once a foundation is set, I quickly move to what the student's interests are. Read More
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 Voice
I'm a recent graduate of St. Olaf College who has just settled in St. Paul. I've had the opportunity to perform with Minnesota Opera and will soon be performing with the Gilbert and Sullivan Very Light Opera Company. My interests range from opera and sonatas to pop and jazz, and I love to explore new avenues of musical creativity. My studio exists to give beginning and intermediate singers and pianists of all ages the confidence and ability to produce high quality music with ease. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba
For my advanced students (18+), depending on how advanced they are, I start them in the "First Book of _______ Solos" series. This series covers singing in English as well as several other languages and provides a good foundation for singing. Anything else I do with the student is on an individual basis. For younger brass students (10-14) I would teach out of the Standard of Excellence Books unless they are more advanced where I would start them in the Arbans Book, Robert Getchell Book, and/or Schlossberg Book.

Instruments: Piano Voice
In the voice studio I am a kind and nurturing teacher - no matter the age or level of the singer. Above all, I strive to instruct healthy, beautiful singing. I absolutely believe in choosing music for a student that will help improve specific areas of vocal technique, but also music about which the student feels passionate. Singing should feel like a release and it should be rewarding. I remember looking forward to voice lessons and getting so excited to watch my voice grow and get better. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Fiddle Keyboard
My experiences teaching are fundamentally positive in nature. I know each student is different and unique in his or her way. I also teach lessons in German and/or English as needed. Setting a goal at the first lesson is important to me. I provide recitals twice a year for both strings and piano. For piano I offer a grand piano sent back from Vienna, refurbished and beautiful in tone. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar Electric Guitar
When will I start to see results?
You should start to see results in no later than a month. I believe that if the student has an instrument and is serious about being a musician then the natural ambition they possess will drive them to be successful also. Motivation at home is also a key factor. A good diet and exercise is a great way to see results even in music! Sometimes the student may want to learn a favorite song on the instrument for cool points with themselves or for entertainment. This is s great way to see progress quickly since they already enjoy the tune. So likely they will learn it fast as possible!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes. My grandfather was my first inspiration. He was a guitarist and keyboard player. I would listen to him play all the time when I lived with him and my granny as a kid. When I was around 12 years old I knew that I wanted to be a guitarist. I heard Led Zeppelin and I was blown away! Then I heard Jimi Hendrix and I definitely knew I was going to be a professional musician. Around 11th grade my band teacher put me in the orchestra because I would always come to the band room during lunch and play the double bass
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know if the student is a good student in other classes besides music and if they have discipline. Good conduct and moral standards are important also. Respect for others and themselves. If they can be confident in asking questions and not feel embarrassed about being wrong sometimes is a good indication in my opinion. If the child shows a natural talent for music and they constantly are creating sounds with their mouth or banging on things is a good indication also. If the the student likes to dance then that is s good indication also in my opinion.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It is a very important part of musical growth. I always have stood by practice like you play. The more time the student spend with the instruments the better they will become. But I also believe that playing your instruments a lot does not necessarily make one a better musician. The student had to get out of the comfort zone and practice things that are challenging and sometimes opposite of what they may like musically. Practicing slow and methodically will greatly improve a students technique and tone while also making them more confident to learn the music.
