In the last decade, Jisoo has built her experience teaching extensively in both private studio and academy settings. Through her teaching, Jisoo strives to instill a deep, life-long love for music and piano in her students. She believes in empowering her students in the learning process by giving them options to explore their own repertoire and encouraging them to find their own expressions in music. Jisoo firmly believes that a good teacher can make a tremendous difference in a student's musical and personal journey.
Aside from the piano, Jisoo enjoys traveling, attending live performances, exploring art museums, and baking.
