Teaching Philosophy

As a classically trained pianist, composer, and educator, Kristine Jieun Lee believes that music is not just something we learn — it’s something that helps us grow.

With over a decade of teaching experience, including work with children of all ages and abilities, as well as those with special needs, Kristine creates a warm, welcoming space where every child feels gently seen, truly heard, and deeply supported. She is known for her calm, encouraging presence and exceptional patience, always meeting each child with understanding, no matter their pace or learning style.

Her lessons are rooted in kindness, creativity, and connection. Kristine takes time to build trust with every student, helping them feel safe, motivated, and proud of their progress, both musically and personally.

To her, every lesson is a chance to connect, heart to heart.

Her greatest hope is that your child leaves each lesson with more than just musical skill — with a fuller heart, a brighter spirit, and a stronger sense of who they are becoming.
