Jae Han - A4 Music & Tuning

Introduction: The first trial lesson is free! Please find photos of our instructors and screenshots of our online lessons in the photos below. You can also find us online when you search for A4 Music Center. Greetings, My name is Jae, and I am a pianist, piano teacher (Steinway Educational Partner), resident piano tuner/technician at the Soapbox Gallery, and founder of A4 Music Center. A4 is a New York City based music center offering piano, violin, viola & guitar lessons online. Conservatory-Trained Instructors: YiQiao Li - Piano & Music Theory Keika Kori - Piano & Music Theory Pierre Mansilla - Guitar Abby Chen - Violin & Viola Music Lessons: As a piano instructor for over ten years, I have seen how my joy for teaching and systematic approach translates into consistent progress with my students. I have taken this passion for teaching to establish A4 Music Center, an online music school that brings professional classical musicians to students of all ages. Gathered from decades of experience, our students learn how to make effective use of their practice time; how to memorize music efficiently; how to use reasonable short-term goals to achieve greater long-term goals; how to use self-reflection as a source of refinement; how to problem-solve obstacles on their own; and how to translate emotion into sound. Normally, weekly lessons are held in-person, but under the current circumstances we have transitioned online. Throughout the year we also offer performance opportunities in the form of online recitals and studio classes. Many students have remarked that the performances have served as a strong motivator to set and keep goals. We work with students of all ages and ability; from those who are learning for fun, to those preparing for exams and auditions (ABRSM exams, NYSSMA exams, specialized middle school/high school auditions, competitions, and more). We welcome all, as long as you are motivated to learn, and have the dedication and patience for the process. If you are a beginner, we will help you establish a strong foundation. If you already have experience, we will help you hone your playing and expression. We also welcome those who are considering classical music as a career. Piano Tunings/Repairs: Over the years of playing the piano, I developed a desire to know how the piano worked, inside and out. I spent two years in an apprenticeship learning to tune, repair and regulate pianos. Since then I have been hired by professional pianists and beginners to service their pianos in recording studios and private homes. I am also experienced in Dampp-Chaser humidity control system installations, and have revived pianos that haven’t been played in years. To further my studies in piano technology I also work at PianoWorks, a piano rebuilding/restoration workshop in Brooklyn.
