Haneul "Sky" offers guitar, voice, and singer-songwriter lessons, as well as composition, ear training, harmony, music theory, and solfege. With an Honours Bachelor of Musical Theatre Performance from Sheridan College and over 15 years of guitar experience, Sky blends technical skill with expressive storytelling. Lessons are available in English and Korean, offered online, in-studio in Thornhill, or in-home across the GTA.
Expression is one of the most important parts of being alive. Being trained specifically in storytelling (Musical Theatre), I will strive to bring out not only the notes of the music, but the story and subtext of the piece. I hope that this approach will give the student a reason to love the art & music that they are making. I believe in helping the student attain their own goals. The time we spend together will solely be focused in serving the student. My promise is that any time spent will at all times bring either growth or joy to the student.
I have an honours Bachelor of Musical Theatre Performance from Sheridan College, which included a Pop Performance component. Having grown up in a musician's family, my family's hobby was to sightread acappella songs and harmonize with each other. I have plenty of Music Theory knowledge that I imbue in teaching Voice & Guitar. I have trained professionally as a singer, receiving coaching from many different teachers, resulting in a wide-range of approaches. This helps me in finding the best tailored approach to the individual student. I have also been playing guitar for more than 15 years, and have played in bands, served in church, and done musician gigs for theatre shows.
I have also received a Dora Award (Toronto-equivalent of an Emmy Award in New York) for Best Ensemble, and Best Performance in 2025 for the show Alligator Pie at SoulPepper Theatre. In 2021, I receive the Jon Kaplan Award for Excellence that is annually-awarded to a single theatre student within Toronto that shows excellence in their studies and leadership among their peers.
I have participated not only in the Musician's World such as playing with bands, and gigging as a musician, but I have my feet deeply planted in the Musical Theatre scene of Toronto as well. I have done shows at SoulPepper, Thousand Islands Playhouse, Capitol Theatre in Port Hope, Musical Stage Company, and have attended the prestigious Musical Theatre program at Sheridan College.

Home visit fee: $15 minimum fee. Teachers may negotiate a higher travel fee if the travel distance is longer than they are comfortable with. Most arrangements use the minimum fee.
One-Time Family Registration: $25. This covers your entire family for life - once you're in, everyone can take lessons!
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
