I have had lessons with Jeeyoon Kim for 5 years. She is patient, kind, and has an exceptional way of explaining and teaching. I have played several instruments and taken many lessons from different teachers over the years and Jeeyoon is a big reason why piano is now my favorite. She has helped me get out of being so in my head and I now can play so much more naturally and freely using her techniques. I would recommend Jeeyoon as an instructor to anyone, whether beginner or advanced. You will feel progress and improvement from the very first lesson.

Jeeyoon is a wonderful teacher. Her lessons are informative, challenging, and fun! I started from scratch, have been taking lessons from her for just two months, and am already playing music. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found such an amazing teacher (not to mention an incredibly talented performer!). If you are serious about learning to play piano, and want to work with the best, then I enthusiastically recommend her to you.

Our daughter, Rachel, was a latecomer to piano and began taking lessons at age 15. Up to that point she was self-taught, but had already placed in the Finals of a state piano competition. As her first teacher, Dr. Kim was able to take the skills Rachel had already picked up and develop those further, as well as fill in the gaps of her piano study. Dr. Kim set high standards and goals and our daughter, eager and motivated to please her, stretched herself to reach those standards. Under Dr. Kim's instruction, Rachel ended up being a 4-time finalist in the state piano competition, reaching Honorable Mention in the Classical category in 2014. Dr. Kim is professional, pleasant and dedicated. She was always prompt and thorough in communicating with us about lessons and recitals. She has a passion for music and teaching and is an outstanding piano instructor.

Jeeyoon taught piano lessons for my kids. We recommended her already for our neighboring friends. She is very talented and motivated. Our kids were inspired by her teaching, and they all love her. She has a kind attitude and is always in a positive mood. She is always on time and she arranges the schedule ahead of time, so we didn't miss any lesson in the past years.I am impressed by her teaching strategies and her knowledge of music. I strongly recommend her to anyone of any age. She has many students from younger ages all the way to adults. She treats everyone with respect and is a very good role model.

In a few short years Dr. Kim has helped me improve my piano skills dramatically and far exceeded my expectations. Her lessons are very well organized and provide ample exposure to music theory. All of her instructions are clear and concise, attributable to her depth of knowledge. With her support and positive attitude even challenging lessons are rewarding and enjoyable. I feel very fortunate to have found such a wonderful teacher and would recommend her services to anyone, regardless of age or skill level.
