Jazz / Pop Piano & Songwriting Lesson in Seoul (in English / Korean)

Hi all, this is Sarang from S.Korea who's been working as a jazz composer, songwriter, pianist, arranger, improviser, conductor & producer for 14 years.

Through this lesson you will learn about various aspects of music with piano because I have various experiences and backgrounds. And if necessary, according to your level, you could have to start learning from the very basics like how the chords are structured and how to make your muscles (especially your hands, fingers and elbows) soft.

The general purposes of this lessons are :
1) to help you play the pop piano with chord reading
2) to help you play the jazz piano with nice voicing & soloing
3) to help you make your own songs with great chord progression
4) to help you read rhythms easily
... etc.

I've been working as a jazz composer, songwriter, pianist, arranger, improviser, conductor & producer for 14 years.
I've played the piano since the age of 4, so music is just part of my life.
I graduated from Codarts University of the Arts (in the old name, Rotterdam Conservatory) in the Netherlands with a master degree. After coming back home, I've been teaching songwriting and pop/jazz composition as a lecturer in 2 universities located in Gyeonggi province since 2020.

Extra information

About Me

I am a friend-like teacher. Most of my last students are still connected with me, no matter how long ago they quit the lesson.

After I came back to my country, I've decided to start teaching music in English for foreigners who are living in Korea because I DO KNOW what it means to be a "stranger" in a strange land, and how important it is to make local friends to make your life more comfortable, happier and safer. But then COVID-19 started, and I couldn't keep meeting people from abroad anymore.. and now it's time to start making friends again! :)

I promise that from my lesson you will get more than whatever you expected, because I consider all kinds of meetings valuable.
Add to that, as a teacher I am very talented at catching what students are curious for and explaining very well. You'll be helped to have a wide perspective about music with depth.

- Sungshin women's university, Seoul

Karoline
Piano lessons for every age - from beginners to advanced
Hi, I'm Karoline! I have a Bachelor of Education from the University of Music and performing arts Vienna and have been teaching for several years. Whether you are a complete beginner (of any age) or have been playing for many years - my lessons will be customized to fit you personal needs and goals. For me the most important thing is to pass down my passion for the instrument and music and to teach you how to be confident with your instrument. I can also prepare you for exams (i.e. entrance exams for a music university) and teach lessons in music theory and ear training. In my lessons I like to occasionally use methods from elementary music education, which focuses on musical expression. That way you can practice to express yourself and your feelings on the instrument and the typical fear of mistakes is being avoided. I teach in a beautiful room with a grand piano near the Belvedere. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to meeting you and making music together! :)

Meric
Ear Training for singers while improving technique
Hello! I am Meric jazz singer - musician - vocal coach and public speaking trainer. If you want to train your ear and sing those fancy notes, there is always an easy way to do that. But of course practice is vital. This class requires basic musical skills. So be sure that you are able to repeat (sing) that you hear.

Online piano lessons for everybody: from any starting level with any set goal!
Learning to play the piano is a wonderful and very diverse experience! Every beginner has to go through it in their own special way in order to realize one's personal aspirations. But sometimes, unfortunately, due to a lack of guidance and direction, the learning process may cause some difficulties followed by unexpected disappointment. If you are in need of said guidance, if your learning experience is not that captivating or satisfying anymore, you don't have to turn away from your dreams of playing the piano - I will gladly help you to get closer to them in a fun and enjoyable way in our lessons! After finishing music school with the highest grades twice as well as a number of additional courses (improvisation, composition, orchestras, etc.) and after honing my teaching skills for more than 4 years, I can safely say that my lessons may prove useful to any type of student with any kind of given objective at hand. No matter your age, your previous experience, or background, you just need to name me your personal goal, task, or even a dream - be ready to dedicate a little time and effort, and I will take care of all the rest. Learning your favorite song, getting prepared for a concert, or simply improving the skills you already possess - in music, everything is possible and achievable, and I'll be more than glad to prove it to you in our lessons.

Lydia
Piano Lessons for Beginner-Advanced Levels in Classical and Contemporary Styles
I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons to students of all levels. As a pianist 12 years of teaching experience and over 21 years of playing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the course of learning piano. If the student is interested in a more serious approach, I can also guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) exams. For example, in the last year my students have achieved highest marks in the ABRSM exams as well as prizes in various competitions. My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music." Prior to this, I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Piano Performance/Music from University of Minnesota and TCU-Fort Worth, TX, USA. My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as soloist with orchestra (also as harpist), and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio and look forward to meeting new students.

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Juan
Piano Lessons with the Best Colombian Young Pianist!
Considered “Best Colombian Young Pianist 2018” after winning the first prize in the national piano competition in Colombia. I have a Master's degree from Liszt Ferenc in Budapest, Hungary, and a Master's degree from Columbus State University in the United States. Besides my career as a pianist, I have over 10 years of experience in teaching Piano, music theory, and history for all ages and categories. Even if you are a beginner we can make it! I have a personal method where I combine both classical and commercial repertoire depending on the student’s preferences. I usually play four hands with my students as well and organize at least one concert a year with all my students where they can meet and share their experiences. If you are an enthusiast about piano competitions, we can also work on that together. I will guide and support you through all the steps of the learning experience.
