Staff Bios

Our staff is well educated, and
consists of talented and experienced
teachers who are in touch with the musical
aspirations of the studio and the families who take lessons with us. Our
comprehensive program offers private lessons, group lessons, recitals and
additional community performance opportunities.
We believe this continues to shape well-rounded
musicians and gives them many different playing and learning opportunities.
Our goal as a
studio is to help each of our students develop musically to the best of their
ability.
Bemidji Music Studio currently
offers lessons in piano, violin, viola,
cello and mandolin to children ages 3 and up.
We are so pleased to be able to offer
different instructors to accommodate and meet the different personalities,
scheduling and musical needs of all of our students.
We want to allow them the opportunity
to connect with each of their students, to both inspire as well as motivate
them!
