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 Guitar Voice Violin Cello
Piano: I prefer Faber Piano Adventures, but I can be flexible if the student is in the middle of another series already. I have also taught the young beginner series by Faber. Strings: I use a traditional approach, but I am not tied to any particular method book. I can supplement whatever is being taught in school or the lessons can stand on their own. I have taught anywhere from Kindergarten to adult ages. Read More

I am motivated to foster a fun lesson environemnt. I loved lessons growing up, and now enjoy the joys of teaching all ages. At my home studio, I teach voice piano and acting lessons to students of all ages. The Twin Cities fasters a rich and diverse musical community. I am happily performing locally with five different groups including two corporate bands, a jazz band, a funk group, an acoustic duo, and an original project. Read More
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: Voice
I am a high energy instructor that brings my passion for singing, attention to the individual, and knowledge of vocal technique into each and every lesson. I graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2011 with a Bachelor of Musical Arts Degree. I continued my education and received a Masters of Music degree from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University in 2013. I am currently working on my dissertation to complete the Doctorate of Musical arts degree from the University of Minnesota. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew I wanted to be a professional musician when I was at my first Battle of the Bands in high school. I saw those guys up on stage and said "yea, I want to do that."
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, my family definitely encouraged me to play around on all sorts of instruments while I was growing up. From trumpet, drums, and piano, to guitar and singing.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started to listen to Australian singer songwriters and really started to love the sound of the Didgeridoo, which is an instrument native to the aboriginal cultures in Australia. I started to learn how to play it and have been hooked ever since.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I really like bluesy funk. It is high energy, danceable, and feels good. I also really like folk/songwriting because of the stories and messages told through the songs.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I want to play at the Fillmore in San Francisco because so many bands that I love and adore have played there. It is such a historic spot!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Staying relaxed yet focused while playing. It can be challenging to not tense up while playing, and it can be challenging to not over think while playing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Forming a touring band that has shared the stage with many great bands and music artists! I am also proud of cutting two self produced EP albums.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My family inspired me to play on instruments as a young boy.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The moment I picked up a guitar I was hooked. I just really like the strings, wood, and mobility of the instrument. It is a very compatible instrument for composing music and songs
When will I start to see results?
Results can occur after one lesson. Consistent practice is important for maintaining and excelling skills.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I warm up and play first. Then I stretch my hands and fingers. Then I break open a practice routine that I have been working on and getting comfortable with for about a week. Next I practice something new to keep me pushing forward.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they have picked up an instrument and express consistent interest in it. Maybe they have been playing but are getting discouraged or uninspired due to a "plateau" in knowledge or ideas to practice and play.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Do it every day (or 5-6 days a week), in a place where you can focus, and do it for an achievable amount of time. Bite size practice sessions are key. Setting a timer is very helpful. Once you get comfortable with a certain amount of practice time, start to extend your time.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn't a musician I would be working with plants, as an organic farmer or in a greenhouse. And I would also make art in some other form like painting.
