GETTYSBURG COLLEGE

The Sunderman Conservatory of Music is a dedicated place for music inside a liberal arts college, a conservatory embedded in a rich intellectual community. An exceptional faculty of artists and scholars, a campus culture rich in performance, and opportunities that range from residencies with internationally-renowned guest artists and lecturers each semester to musical experiences abroad for a semester or a summer make Sunderman one of the most distinctive undergraduate music options available.

PRIVATE LESSONS

I'm passionate about teaching all ages of musicians. My goal as a teacher is not only to guide the student to personal success, but to have that success be driven by their passion for music. A positive mindset is at the forefront of my teaching, and I believe in the uniqueness of the individual and tailor my teaching to each student. I am available to teach in-person in Frederick and Montgomery counties in Maryland.

VIRTUAL LESSONS

"Dr. Kim-Banther is patient and encouraging with our early beginner. We appreciate the consistent positive feedback she gives and her enthusiasm for playing the trombone comes right through the screen. We also like how she covers seemingly small chunks of info each time. It helps our player master each week."

"My son is a beginner trombone player in band during distance learning. He always leaves each lesson with a skip in his step and tells me about a new note or something else new that he learned during class."

My 12 year old daughter loves to work with Dr. Kim-Banther. She has some experience playing trombone but wanted to add lessons to help her progress while her school isn't doing band practices. Dr. Kim-Banther is friendly and enthusiastic and she is a very skilled teacher and musician. She is kind and she takes the lesson in small chunks so my daughter feels successful. We have seen improvement in her playing and her confidence after just a few lessons.
