Music is the food for the soul. It inspires and influences people whether they are musicians or not.

I started playing the piano when I was 10. My parents took me for piano lessons to introduce me to music and see whether I’d like it. Well, I loved it! I have been playing since then and music has become part of my life. I have been taking piano lessons with 3 different private instructors. My recent private piano teacher is a student of Iran’s most well-known pianist and composer, Emanuel Malek Aslanian. My focus area is classical piano music. Some of my favorite composers include Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Mozart, Schubert and Bach. However, I enjoy music from all over the globe and love discovering new musical styles and pieces I can play !

I began playing the violin and piano when I was 4 years old. My mother was a piano teacher for over 30 years with contagious passion for music and her students, so with training in perfect pitch, sight-reading, and other musicianship skills, I began performing solo and in ensembles. I soon became an assistant teacher, beginning my own private lessons. Since elementary school, I've been a part of the church choir, school band, and orchestra. As I entered high school, I decided to become more active and take leadership in the ensembles. I became the Concert Mistress of the symphonic and string orchestra and held onto my first chair until graduation. I also participated in the San Jose Philharmonic Orchestra, as first violinist. I was also a first violinist of the Korean American Music Supporters Association (KAMSA), performing a concert at the Disney Concert Hall. Since 1997, I have won countless awards from CWC Annual Music Competitions, California Music Education Association, KTVN...

Hello! I have been playing the piano since I was five years old, back in good old 1989 and have never stopped. I firmly believe that music is not just an extra-curricular activity or a hobby. Studying and playing music benefits all facets of life. It is one of the few fields of study that uses both the left and right side of your brain. By learning, understanding, performing, and appreciating music, not only are you developing your creative side, but you are also strengthening the analytical side of your brain. Music is emotional and mathematical; it is expressive and precise. It's the most beautiful and gratifying way to challenge and sharpen your mind.
My particular area of expertise is in Classical music, though I do enjoy playing jazz, pop, Broadway show tunes - pretty much anything I can get my hands on. I have a bachelors degree in music from Point Loma Nazarene University, where I studied directly under Dr. Victor Labenske. During the course of the degree program I was able...
