Teaching Philosophy
I believe in creating a positive and inspiring learning environment that encourages students to achieve their full potential. My goal is to not only teach students how to play the piano but also to instill in them a lifelong love and appreciation of music. Whether I am instructing beginners or guiding advanced players to new levels of proficiency, I am committed to helping each student reach their musical goals and aspirations. With my knowledge of music theory, technical skills, and performance experience, I am confident that I would be a good addition to help inspire and educate a new generation of music lovers.

Special Skills and Trainings
My musical journey began at the tender age of seven, a voyage embarked at home, learning the delicate strains of the piano and the violin. The professional stage first called to me in May 2008, where I delivered a joint piano solo recital at Buamart Hall in Seoul, South Korea. A month later, I volunteered "Music gift at noon," a solo concert for at the Asan Medical Center in Seoul. I dove deeper into the world of music academia as a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Music at Kookmin University from March 2008 to February 2010. Here, I also had the chance to be a piano accompanist for the Graduate Opera Class from September 2008 to August 2009. My solo recital at Kookmin University's Concert Hall in May 2009 was a milestone in my musical journey. A new chapter unfolded as I moved to Philadelphia where I served as a Teaching Assistant in the College of Music at Temple University from September 2013 to July 2015. I had the privilege of learning from some of the best, performing in the Master Classes at Rock Hall, both in March 2014 and May 2015. I had the unique opportunity to give house piano concerts in Moorestown, NJ, in April 2014 and May 2015, under the tutelage of Alexander Fiorillo, who privately studied with the legendary Vladimir Horowitz. In April 2015, I hit another milestone with my Master’s piano solo recital at Rock Hall, Philadelphia. That same month, I performed a work composed by Joseph Schwantner, the Pulitzer Prize Winner, in a collaborative piano performance at the Temple Performing Arts Center in Philadelphia. I then collaborated the stage with Ricardo Morales, the Principal Clarinetist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, in May 2015. In one of my most memorable performances, I played the Rachmaninoff piano concerto at the Temple Performing Arts Center, Philadelphia, in April 2015. Later, in July 2015, I had the honor of being a piano soloist for a Chamber Winds at the WASBE World Association Conference, held at the California Theatre, San Jose, CA. In September 2019, I joined the Department of Music at the University of Alberta as the Principal Instructor and Teaching Assistant, serving until April 2020. Here, I had the chance to give a piano solo recital at the Convocation Hall in October 2020 and a collaborative recital in the same venue in November 2021. Each experience, each note played, has brought me closer to understanding my passion for music.

Our Promise to You
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!
