Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello
Cello is my main instrument, but I have also been teaching piano, guitar, and violin for years. I love teaching and the variety of finding the approach that works best for each individual student. On a personal note, I was married in 2010 and had my first child, a boy, a year later. I live in Northfield but commute up to the Eden Prairie/Chanhassen area for lessons every Monday. I am also open to giving lessons at people's homes who are close to Highway 35 on the way to or from the Cities. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums
It is hard to explain about teaching method for voice lesson because the voice is not visible. When I was studying a doctoral program I studied hard about vocal pedagogy. Generally, voice teachers abstractly tend to teach their students. So, I have been emphasizing how to know their body mechanism first before letting them sing. Actually, when we sing many muscles work together but they do not know which muscle works. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I started teaching in 2008 and my studio at its maximum capacity was 30 students - a large portion with whom I worked consistently for 3 years until I decided pursue graduate school. While at UNL I taught applied voice and diction, and literature classes as a teaching assistant. Organizing voice classes, studio recitals, and theatrical coachings are resources I have used and will continue to use in the studio to develop a student's full performance potential. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice
It also allowed me the opportunity to perform in famous cathedrals throughout Europe in my Senior Year of High School. The ability to inspire others is what motivates me most in this profession and in life in general! I define the art of singing as "Vocal Gymnastics" and focus on exercises that teach the techniques needed for creating optimal sounds. The other part of the fun involves applying the new mastered technique to the context of a specific song. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I choose the books according to my assessment of the student during the introductory lesson. The Faber Method is one of the more popular ones. I also use the Alfred All-in-One books series. As supplemental material, I use Keynote Speller by Shaum and Line a Day by Keith Snell. For solo repertoire, I select methods based on the skills and favorite pieces of each student. Recently, there have been published and won the love of millions of teachers and students around the world, 2-books "Tales of Musical Journey" by Irina Gorin, for beginners. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I begin with an assessment of the student that starts with the student explaining to me his or her background and personal goals/reasons for taking voice lessons. From there, I take the student through simple exercises where assess the students ability in the fundamentals of, postural alignment, breath support, resonance, articulation, and vowel constancy. Based on the students' ability I devise a regimen of vocal exercises designed to strengthen areas of weakness. 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.
