      <image:caption>James (Jim) Gamble is primarily a piano instructor at MAI, although he also instructs organ, cello, and bass. As an MAI alum, has been teaching at the school for 12 years and is an experienced accompanist. After beginning piano lessons at age 7 with his father, Jim transitioned through several teachers until beginning his studies at MAI at 10 years old. Homeschooling afforded him great practicing opportunities that his parents encouraged him to take advantage of. There, at MAI, he studied piano under Dr. O. Wayne Smith, and cello under Ho Anthony Ahn for 6 years. During this time, Jim won several local competitions and achieved 1+ ratings every year at MAI and in the community. At 16 years old, Jim became the first pianist to ever win the Young Artist Competition sponsored by the Independence Symphony (now known as Heritage Philharmonic) resulting in his first concerto performance with a full orchestra. He then studied with Iris Logeman on piano, competing nationally and preparing for college.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sarah Gustafson believes that music and martial arts are closely related. She has experience as a cello teacher at MAI and as a Krav Maga instructor at Self-Defense Global. Sarah's passion for music began early on due to her mother's influence as a musician. Although she didn't enjoy playing the piano, she recognized its significance as the foundation of all music, especially for the cello, her favorite instrument. Sarah's interest in martial arts stemmed from a personal safety concern after almost being carjacked. Krav Maga helped her address this issue effectively, as it is a technique taught to military and law enforcement personnel worldwide. Sarah didn't anticipate becoming a martial artist in her younger years, but she acknowledges the impact her musical background has had on her physical activities. Both musicians and martial artists require high levels of self-discipline. Sarah's musical journey began in middle school, where she was the first chair cellist, and continued through Truman High School, where she participated in the school orchestra. She pursued her love for music at Graceland University, majoring in Music Performance and Studio Art. During high school, she had the opportunity to study with Jack Ergo and played in the Kansas City Youth Symphony. Sarah occasionally performs at gigs and has also played with the St. Joseph Symphony.</image:caption>
