Our Team
Hope Brown Johnson
I am pianist and worship leader who loves to teach kids about music! I have a degree in Music from Concordia College in Moorhead, and have worked as a Music Director, musician, composer, arranger, and piano teacher for the last 10+ years. Whether teaching a piano lesson, leading a class, or jamming out at camp, my hope is our student’s learn not only to love music but learn valuable life skills such as self-confidence, growth-mindset, discipline, and teamwork. It is an honor to teach music and watch every student grow!
I live in Moorhead with my husband, Dylan, and step-daughter, Ingrid. When I am not teaching, I love cooking, reading, gardening, going on camping trips, and soaking up sweet time with my family.
Paul Norell
I am a music teacher and worship leader who loves sharing my love of music with others! I have a degree in Music Education from Concordia College in Moorhead, and have worked as a Music Teacher, Worship Leader, musician, arranger, and composer for the last 10+ years. Whatever I am doing, I hope that our students would experience the joy that creating music and connecting with others brings to us all. I can’t wait to meet your students and spend our summer learning, exploring, jamming, growing, and having fun together!
I live in Fargo and have a love of the outdoors and people! When I am not teaching, I love hanging out with friends, making music, going on outdoor adventures, camping, and road tripping across the country.
