Hi everyone! My name is Anjin, and I have been teaching piano and voice for six years. I recently completed my Master’s of Music in Vocal Performance at the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM), and I am currently working towards a Professional Studies degree in Opera at CIM. I have studied piano intensively for twenty years, and I specialize in the Taubman Technique, which is a method of playing that eliminates technical difficulties so that one can focus primarily on music making. I also use this method for retraining piano players who are injured from repetitive stress syndrome.

One of my main goals in teaching is to build up my students’ knowledge and confidence so that they can come to a point where they make their own informed musical decisions. This comes from the careful and individualized nurturing of each student’s needs during the lesson times, along with a healthy dose of encouragement and constructive criticism.

I've played with artists, and bands of ALL genres. I find appeal in every kind of music our world has to offer. I've worked with children of ALL ages. I have mentored, counseled, and led the youth in many different ways, through many different employers, doing different kinds of work, for a VERY long time.

Whether you want compose heavy metal songs, perform concerto music, mix techno tracks, or improvise confidently in a jazz setting, I have the knowledge and passion, enthusiasm and creativity to take it as far as you want to go AND, most importantly, make this thing...

I am a Cleveland native who knows first hand what awesome impact music can make. I started singing at two with my dad. I attended Rainey Institute and then got accepted to Cleveland School of the Arts, where I majored in vocal music and minored in drama. For the last 15 years, I have had the honor of exploring the world of music with pre-k to adult students. I have enjoyed creating arts curriculum for schools and summer camp programs. I am a living witness that the world of MUSIC can change a life. I look forward to sharing this world with future students and creating opportunities through music for them to SHINE!
