Student Success Stories:

A decade ago, I couldn't fathom singing at my current level. Soojin's personalized instruction guided me in conquering my tone-deafness. With her patient coaching and meticulous focus on breath control, I overcame many barriers and found the confidence to emote through singing.

Meeting Soojin in my retirement was a stroke of luck. The feeling of basking in applause after my triumphant performance only a year into my journey was incredibly validating. Soojin's demeanor is commendable and her mentorship has become my confidence's greatest ally.

During our vocal lessons, I had many epiphanies about bel canto technique including appoggio breathing and airflow. I always leave our sessions brimming with joy and with a rekindled sense of wellness.

Once tone-deaf, and lacking rhythm and confidence, singing was a distant dream. Yet, with Soojin's reassurance and exceptional teaching, I've gained the courage to push myself. You have no idea how fun the lessons are, so I encourage you to give it a shot if you're on the fence.

Past scars of being shamed for singing in school haunted me, erasing my voice. Soojin entered my life as a chance encounter, rekindling hope. She taught me the right path. As I improved, fear faded, replaced by triumph as I sang confidently at a recital. Now, I proudly anchor the Bel Canto Choir's bass section.

I Always wanted to sing, but only pursued it post-retirement. My soft voice was limiting, and I could only sing falsetto. Soojin changed that. Through her, I developed a pro-level vocal resonance—an accomplishment that brings me immense joy. Her meticulously tailored lessons are perfect for amateurs!

If I had to sum up Soojin's teaching style in a phrase, I would say she's enthusiastic and detail-oriented. Her profound dedication to her students' growth is clear from her actions, and she's always a pleasure to be around as a person. As soon as the pandemic ended, one of the first things I did was to resume our lessons.

Soojin teaches with passion and diligence...with all her soul. More than anything, her personality and warm heart stand out as her greatest qualities. Her ability to empathize and connect with others is truly remarkable. I'm proud to call her my best friend.

Soojin's passion is contagious, and she is super relatable. Her wisdom has helped me undergo a deepened appreciation for spirituality and life's journey in general. Through that, I have experienced a heightened artistic sensibility in my own performances.
