Introduction
Jazz has always been a music-centered around community and apprenticeship. The mission of Learn Jazz Today is to bring that tradition to a personal level by sharing jazz knowledge from musicians all over the world. From prestigious universities like the University of North Texas and Berklee College of Music, where I attended, to the countless informal lessons I've had from other professional musicians and years of experience on the bandstand, I built this site as a database for all things jazz.

Ms. Junghee is so amazing with my children. She really cares to help them make progress, and they have! She listens to my questions and concerns and works with me and my children in the most genuine ways. We do appreciate her sense of humor, bright personality, and yet firm instructions when teaching piano. Also, I would like to point out Ms. Junghee is the only teacher who has helped to correct finger and hand positions which is so critical when one starts playing more advanced level. I really wish we had started with her 3 and a 1/2 years ago!

Details: 6 - 9 years old • Yes, the student can read music • 2 - 4 yrs of formal training • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has a piano • 45 minutes • Within the next 1 - 2 weeks • The piano teacher travels to me

Junghee is incredible! My son was struggling in his beginning piano high school class. After a few lessons with junghee his grade has significantly improved and he is enthusiastic about learning the piano!

I have only had one lesson with Damian so far, but I can see already that he is extremely knowledgeable and fun to work with. Just want to add that I have been taking lessons for 10+ yrs, with 8 different instructors so I do have experience forming judgments about the quality of the instruction I receive.

Damian is an extremely kind and skilled teacher. He has an incredibly vast talent for piano and makes each lesson so much fun. I found limited options for teachers willing to do lessons in-home, and truly got lucky finding Damian online!

Thank you Rachel! It was such fun to get a lesson in with Gay and look forward to the next few!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    I offer four 45 min lessons for $150 a month or individual lessons at $30 a half hour.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I typically get to know the student by asking them a few questions first, as to gauge their experience level with music. After I get a sense of their background, I introduce them to various musical worksheets that help me identify their strengths and weaknesses such as reading, technical facility, and ear training. It may seem intimidating at first but I find that once we play through a few things together, the situation becomes much more comfortable and relaxed.
