Dr. Sophia S. Jung Piano Studio
Dr. Sophia Jung is an excellent piano teacher for our son! She is kind, patient and warm. She balances teaching accuracy and precision with the joy of feeling the music inside. She discusses music theory in a way that makes it relevant to our son, and makes the music come alive on the page. She is very supportive and encouraging. I know our son respects her completely and she inspires him to improve every week. He has made so much progress in just one year - we are astounded. We wish we had a teacher like Dr. Sophia growing up!

Ms. Sophia has been teaching piano for both my boys over the last two years! She is immensely talented and is exceptionally brilliant in teaching kids of any age. My older son has thrived under her tutelage and thanks to her; has taken a huge interest in Western Classical music including composing his own songs and participating in music competitions. My younger son was only 6 when he started to learn piano with Ms. Sophia, and he is already a proficient piano player now! Ms. Sophia is very passionate about her students and both my boys love studying with her. She has been a true gift in the boys' lives and we're ever so grateful to learn from her!!

My kindergarten-aged son has been taking 1:1 piano lessons from Sophia for 1.5 years. We love her and her lessons very much! Sophia is awesome at communicating with kids, while keeping high standards in piano playing skills. Besides textbooks, Sophia emphasizes piece structure analysis, which can always inspire us beyond notes. We enjoy her excellent teaching and sincerely appreciate all her support! :)

I started to take private piano lessons with Dr. Sophia Jung in 2021. I am an adult beginner. Sophia is so patient and prepared lessons specifically for me based on my capabilities. Sophia also continuously challenges me and encourages me throughout the course to improve my skills. Each lesson I can feel the improvement. After 6 months, I can play many pieces I really enjoy. And Sophia also helps me to appreciate music more. Later I signed up my son to take private lessons with Sophia. My son has improved so much and is playing better than me. Especially, both my son and I are enjoying the piano more than ever.

Sophia Soyoung Jung is a beautiful pianist and a fabulous teacher. I am a voice professional and studied piano with her during my graduate studies at Penn State University. She painstakingly and patiently helped me take apart my piano technique and put it back together to enable me to play with freedom and expression that had been stifled by tension. The work I did with her has led to wonderful growth in my playing over the years. I can now play piano to accompany my voice students, accompany myself as I sing, or play classical solo piano repertoire at a much higher level with a technique that finally serves my musical ideas. I think back on our lesson often, and continue to unpack all the wonderful instruction she gave me. I highly recommend her teaching!
