I am a graduate of Kalamazoo College, where I earned a dual-degree BA in music & psychology in 2009, and Teachers College Columbia University, where I earned my EdM in music education in 2011. I teach upright bass, bass guitar, and guitar, and my number one goal is to make you feel as though your interests for your music study are always kept in mind as we work together. I like to incorporate composition and creativity into private lessons in addition to playing songs and repertoire, and believe there is something of musical value in every song or piece.

Hi everyone. If you're reading this, that means you're taking the time to consider music lessons for yourself or a family member, which is fantastic. As someone who has spent most of his life studying and playing music, I know what a rewarding experience it can be.
I first became interested in studying and playing music because of one simple reason - it's fun. The fun and excitement of playing a song for the first time is an incredible experience that one likely will never forget. The benefits that musical study has on an individual, both young and old, are too many to list in full here. It provides a fun, relaxing hobby, it keeps the mind sharp, children who study music tend to do better in school, it can bring one out of a sad mood, it is a fun social activity....... the list goes on and on!
I've been formally studying music for over 20 years and teaching for over 5, but have learned at least just as much from teaching those five years as I have in those 20. I have learned a...

I am an enthusiastic teacher who loves to help students explore and enjoy the process of singing. Singing and music can boost your confidence and can be an activity that is both challenging and enjoyable. Singing is also personal and I believe it is important to see lessons as a collaboration between teacher and student.

I am also an active performer with a focus in opera and musical theater. I currently singing with Minnesota Opera and have performed such roles as Suzuki in Madame Butterfly, Alisa in Lucia, Marcellina in Le Nozze di Figaro and the title role in Carmen. I believe that a great teacher has experience they can share with students. I understand the challenges of singing because I face them professionally everyday. I find this helps to be sympathetic to a student and their needs. Due to my professional experience, I understand how much students can grow with patience and guidance.

I received a Bachelor's degree from the State University of New York College at...

I strongly believe that anyone can learn to sing, and my goal is to dispel the myth that only a select few are "gifted" with beautiful voices. Singing is like a sport; it is about muscular coordination, which with practice and focused instruction, is something that anyone can improve! It is my job as a teacher to help you choose repertoire and to give useful feedback which will build your voice and your confidence.

My teaching experience encompasses students of all ages and abilities, some as young as 10, to those well into adulthood. The majority of my teaching and performing experience is in classical voice, with a focus in opera and art song. I get a deep feeling of satisfaction from watching my students achieve their personal singing goals, and have sent many on to receive top ratings at vocal competitions and college music scholarships.

I am a professional vocalist and voice instructor in the Twin Cities. I earned a Bachelor of Music degree in vocal performance from...

I have been teaching for over 8 years and my unique versatility as an educator has given me the experience I need to be successful. I am an Orff-Schulwerk trained teacher, whose philosophy is based on things children like to do: sing, chant rhymes, clap, dance, and keep a beat on anything near at hand in a non-competitive atmosphere where one of the rewards is the pleasure of making good music with others. I have an outstanding rapport with children in the classroom and in one-on-one instruction. I am also a leader and a performer whether I am conducting songs at the all-school assemblies, singing in the community choir, or playing rock music in a club. In addition to the many creative projects outside of work, I am an active board member of my local Orff-Schulwerk chapter which promotes a network of music educators.

Hello! I'm Justin, a classically trained Baritone with an emphasis in operatic singing.

I got my first guitar as a Christmas gift when I was 12 years old, I took a few lessons, practiced a lot, and by the time I was 15, was playing around town with different bands. Although I had some classical training in piano, I learned to play guitar by copying what I heard on records. I made a lot of mistakes learning this way. One reasons I am passionate about teaching is because I can help beginners to avoid making some of the same mistakes I did.

After many years of playing in rock/blues and garage bands, I decided to pursue a degree in music. While enrolled in the university, I sharpened my performance skills, developed a solid knowledge of music theory, and studied jazz improvisation. My knowledge of music theory allows me to explain abstract concepts and ideas to my students in a language that they can understand. I enjoy helping people to gain a better understanding of music in this way.

I received my music degree from Wayne State University in Detroit in 1997. I...
