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.

She is patient, fun, caring, and the most important thing, is that she knows how to teach -- in ways that are interactive, informative, and transcends the joy of music!

Dr. Kim was the piano teacher for both of my kids since they started piano lessons. Under her guidance, both children have progressed nicely in piano and musical theory. We greatly appreciate that Dr. Kim always kept high expectations on the students, but was also very encouraging and willing to put time to help them achieve the goals. Her teaching is very well structured --- with her highly organized weekly worksheets, a parent with little piano knowledge (like myself) was able to supervise the kids practice at home and really enjoyed it. We are very grateful to have her as the first piano teacher for our kids!

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.
