About Mr Cohn
About Mr Cohn
Michael Cohn has been Northwood High School's choir director since August of 2022. Originally from San Diego, California, Michael Cohn received his Master of Fine Arts in Piano Performance at the University of California, Irvine in 2021. He also received his bachelor’s degree in music from the University of California, San Diego in 2017. Classical piano is his main instrument, but he also has a love for jazz which led him to play the saxophone, clarinet, and flute growing up. Some of his favorite composers include Brahms, Beethoven, Clara Schumann, and Antonin Dvorak, although his musical interests are not solely focused on classical music. He also enjoys alternative and classic rock, especially the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Who and Weezer. Michael has been teaching music since 2012 during his freshman year of college. His teaching is solely student-centered, with a focus on making music fun and engaging, while diving deeply into skills and technique along the way.
Growing up in San Diego, California, he spent most of his time delving into the world of music, or competitively swimming. He was also a dedicated swimmer and was privileged to further his swimming career at the collegiate level while at UCSD. In June of 2022, he moved to Chapel Hill along with his wife, Rachel, so she could begin med school at UNC Chapel Hill. Now in his free time, you can usually find him outdoors, hiking, cycling, running or swimming.
