Jinny Lee's Teaching Philosophy - Building Strong, Confident Musicians

With over 19 years of teaching experience, I have developed a comprehensive curriculum designed to build technique step by step, while consistently applying it in real musical contexts.

​

Rather than focusing on a single piece at a time, my approach emphasizes the development of strong fundamentals through a combination of etudes, technical exercises, and repertoire. Each technical concept is introduced, reinforced through targeted studies, and then applied directly to solo works.

​

Students work with a wide range of materials, including Hohmann, Wohlfahrt, Kayser, Kreutzer, Suzuki, Yost, Schradieck, and Ševčík. These are carefully selected and assigned based on the specific technique being developed at each stage.

​

This structured approach ensures that students are not simply learning pieces, but are building a reliable technical foundation. Without this process, students often lack the fundamental control needed to progress at a higher level.

​

By consistently connecting technique to repertoire, students gain a deeper understanding of their playing, allowing them to perform with greater confidence, control, and musical expression.
