HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT
"Mrs. Kim is an admirable piano teacher. I started taking lessons with her in 2017 and have improved tremendously since then. I would not be at the level I am now if it wasn't for her. Mrs. Kim took into account my musical preference and tailored the lessons towards my interest. Besides being my piano instructor, she became a close friend and a mentor. I highly recommend her. "

I highly recommend Mrs. Kim as a teacher."

PARENT OF HOME SCHOOLERS
"Mrs. Caroline Kim has taught both of my daughters. She is an excellent and inspirational piano teacher. Over the years, my youngest daughter went from learning to play the piano to the desire to compose her own music. Mrs. Kim applies rigor with wisdom and care. Students feel motivated to learn and perform because of her dedication and professionalism; she presents opportunities not only for students to experience learning one-on-one but also for group performance and opportunities to engage and perform in competitions.
I highly recommend her studio."
