Client Reviews
“My son has been with Ms. Aekyung for about a year and we highly recommend her as a violin teacher. Not only is she kind and patient with my son, she is extremely talented and so musically advanced. I wanted to make sure we hired the best and she is absolutely the best. My son adores her teaching method and looks forward to his lesson every week. She makes it fun but still manages to teach him techniques that he is able to remember every lesson. Again, we highly recommend her!”
— Cashmere C.“Aekyung Kim is truly the most amazing teacher I've had the pleasure of learning from. When I first contacted her I was at a mostly-beginner level, and I didn't believe I could pursue classical music as a career. Within less than four years I went from playing songs from Suzuki Book 1 to taking youth orchestra auditions, performing in masterclasses, and learning professional-level pieces like Bach Suite 2 and the Walton Viola Concerto. I don't believe I'd have been able to achieve such a high level in a short amount of time with any other teacher. Aekyung is encouraging, explains things easily, and has valuable insight and experience into classical music as a career/field of study. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to improve their violin or viola playing, whether as a hobby or at the professional level.”
— Dani M.“Adult online student review here: I studied music in college (but never strings), and I've never had online music lessons until now. The remote lessons are comparable to in person lessons and it's easy to stay in touch between lessons if needed. I appreciate the attention to detail for technique, and the pace of introduction of new skills is good/appropriate. The lessons go by fast, the assignments are not boring, and I've seen a tremendous improvement in a short amount of time. Highly recommend!”
