about
Mark Henjum
instructor of
guitar / ukulele / piano
“I have been teaching guitar since I was an undergraduate student at the University of South Dakota, giving private lessons, and as an adjunct faculty member at Morningside College in Sioux City Iowa.
After moving to the Twin Cities, I started a studio in my home, teaching guitar, bass and voice. While pursuing my studies at the University of Minnesota, I was on the Adjunct Faculty at Crown College in St. Bonifacious. I taught guitar and bass at Son-Sheim Music and Dance, and Musicapolis (a Schubert Club school). I was the Jam Camps director for the All Around the Neighborhood on the West Side of St. Paul, leading jam sessions for groups of kids at the Paul and Sheila Wellstone Center.
I have had decades of experience in playing in bands in the Minneapolis/St. Paul music scene, and in Sioux Falls, the Black Hills of South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, and the Denver area in Colorado. During that time, I shared the stage with the Nitty Gritty Dirt band, the Doobie Brothers, Mike Miller and Mark Craney of Sioux Falls, and opened for Neil Diamond, and the Lovin’ Spoonful.
