About Me

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 advanced musicianship, I followed her footsteps and became an assistant teacher, soon 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, where I moved up in the first violins every year. I was also a first violinist of the Korean American Music Supporters Association (KAMSA), where we performed a full concert at the Disney Concert Hall.
I moved to San Diego to study Music Performance in Violin at University of California-San...

About Me

I began playing the violin in 3rd grade in my school general music class and instantly fell in love with it. I begged my mom for private lessons and after a year, she finally caved in. By my freshman year in high school, I had decided that I wanted to major in violin performance in college and make a career out of being a classical violinist.
I went on to earn my Bachelor of Music in violin performance from State University of New York at Purchase. During my freshman year, I began teaching private violin and viola lessons at the Westport Music Center in Connecticut. I quickly realized that teaching is very fulfilling and that I loved sharing my passion and knowledge of the violin with others. While in undergrad, I also won my first job in a part time professional orchestra, the Ridgefield Symphony in Connecticut.
After completing my Bachelor's degree, I went on to earn my Master of Music from Boston University, also in violin performance. During the two years I lived in...

About Me

I love to teach the violin and fiddle. I really enjoy working with adult beginners to help them discover music. You are never too old to learn! My specialty is working with young children to establish a wonderful foundation for the student with the violin and musicianship with both the violin and fiddle. I am a structured teacher who is helpful, friendly and fun to work with. In working with young children I encourage the parent to be involved with the lessons...to partnership, so that the child will progress and have an enjoyable experience. I use a modern approach to teaching materials; books that inspire and encourage the student at his/her level and age group. Having taught several instruments during the past 12 years...I understand the importance of passing on musical knowledge to brave beginners who are starting out on the pathway to a musical life. Music lessons can be a wonderful "corner stone" to a person's life be they young or old, beginner or more advanced. Believe...
