San Bernardino, CA Piano Lessons

I have been teaching the wonderful instrument of the piano for four years.

For children, I use the Alfred Piano Series lesson books that includes lessons and homework in a fun and engaging way to promote retention.

For beginners, I use the publication A New Approach to Keyboard Harmony to learn chord progressions, sequences, modulations, realization of both figured and un-figured basses, basic improvisation, and score reading. Learning these techniques will help transition students seamlessly to various styles and genres that incorporate the piano, helping you learn and love the piano without frustrating stoppages that often lead us away from lesson continuity.

From there, I utilize the Hal Leonard Student Piano Library series to promote chord inversion, syncopation, arpeggiation, pedaling, and key centering.

Learn theory, chord changes, reading music, and playing you want to play because you learn the system.

I teach students to read music and learn to play piano.

Looking to start you musical journey but not sure how? Piano is a great place to start! Learn how to read music in bass & treble clef, rhythms, time signatures, key signatures, music theory, chord structure & inversions!

During my lessons, my student should expect to leave feeling confident and that he or she has learned something new. My students will always be making constant progress!

With an emphasis in Jazz, we can enter any style suited to fit your taste. Contemporary piano ranging from Latin, R&B, Hip-Hop, and Pop. Versatility in arranging piano voicing, form, songwriting variation/improvisation with the use of color, and rhythmic comprehension grounded with syncopation are the few topics I cover to build keyboard fundamentals.

I have been teaching classical piano and music theory for last 7 years. As a student, I deeply understand the struggles, amount of patience, and constant hard work that comes with learning music. Learning piano will allow you to strengthen not only their ability to play, but also their patience. You can remain music lovers even without music lessons! As a teacher, most rewarding aspect of teaching is witnessing your reactions when you reach where they doubted.

I am a concert pianist with a passion for teaching. From a boarding arts secondary school to prestigious conservatories in both the US and Europe, I have honed my craft, and developed a love for sharing my passion with others. I have taught students at the Yale School of Music and at the Eastman School of Music in the United States. Additionally, I have taught a private studio for a year in Brussels, Belgium and given masterclasses at universities and schools across the Americas. My goal as a teacher is to instill my own love for music in my students.

I started playing piano when I was 5 years old, and my musical basics were built up through learning piano. I minored in piano at undergraduate School, Han-Yang university in Korea.

I have been teaching piano students of level between beginner and Intermediate. In order to make better progress learning piano, I focus on what students need because each student has different learning style and goal.

Piano can be so fun and students love it especially when they play fun popular songs that they like. I like to keep lessons interesting and students will never be bored!

In piano lessons we will go over music theory, sight reading, and take it step by step through the piano method books. I teach all styles including classical, jazz, and contemporary pop. I have experience teaching all ages and love working with kids. My teaching style is fun and flexible and I value my students and their goals.
