We feel incredibly fortunate to have Ms. Amy Korim as the piano teacher for our three children. Ms. Korim's passion for music is contagious, and her dedication to teaching is truly admirable. With patience and expertise, Ms. Korim has guided them through the intricacies of piano playing, making every lesson enjoyable and educational. We have witnessed remarkable progress in our children's skills under her guidance, and we are grateful for the positive impact Ms. Korim has had on our children's musical journey. Under Ms. Korim's guidance, the three children's love for the piano has deepened, and their skills have become increasingly effective. The children have won numerous awards in various piano competitions. The younger sister achieved second place in the International Crescendo Piano Competition in her age group, while the older brother secured second place once and first place twice. Ms. Korim is highly knowledgeable about teaching the piano, using different methods for different children. Because of this, she is well-loved by the children. Thank you, Ms. Korim, for sharing your knowledge and passion for music with our children! Highly recommended!

My daughters are now 9 & 10 years old, and they have been learning piano from Amy for the past three years. I had to write another review, because last night, as I was cooking dinner, I heard the most beautiful song being played by my younger daughter. It is such a wonderful feeling to realize your child has met the challenges of learning the piano and now possesses the gift of music for the rest of her life. Amy's patience, talent and teaching ability has been such a gift to my family. I couldn't ask for a better piano teacher for my girls.

During the current pandemic Amy has shifted gears to teaching online. She’s been doing amazing adapting to the tough changes but we are back up and running! The online web lessons have been great! Our daughter said today “we’re becoming professionals at these online lessons!” My kids are enjoying and learning so much even via FaceTime lessons! Hoping for things to get back to normal soon!

I have two daughters ages 5 & 7. I want them to play a musical instrument but feared they would find it boring and give up on it easily. It has been quite the opposite. They love going to piano every week. My 5 year old is strong willed and I didn’t give it a high chance that she’d even be able to sit through a lesson. I’m still gobsmacked because during her lesson yesterday she accompanied Amy for three songs and she was REALLY playing. Without Amy I would have no idea that she was capable of this... I think most teachers wouldn’t of worked out because my daughter can get distracted easily. I’m pretty sure Amy just solidified years of love of music in my child in short two months. What an experience!

I'm a frustrated musician-----but someone named Amy Korim came into my life and after 6 months the frustration ended and my music ability improved in leaps and bounds. A wonderful teacher and a lovely lady.

Amy, Has a unique ability to adjust to each student's learning curve. She has given me more in a few months of lessons than most teachers---I'm playing with confidence while playing more complex musical pieces each week.

Mrs. Korim has been my piano teacher for 12 years and she is fantastic! She knows how to cater to any type of student from all ages to ensure that they get the most from each lesson and enjoy the music they play. She works with each student individually and makes sure to give her full attention to them. Mrs. Korim shares her enthusiasm and love for music with her students and inspires them to be better musicians and people. Personally speaking, I originally hated playing the piano but through the many years of lessons with Mrs. Korim, I learned to appreciate music and gained skills that I would keep for the rest of my life. Any student considering Mrs. Korim as a teacher would definitely not regret it!

I have been taking piano lessons from Mrs. Korim for about seven or eight years. I had previously taken lessons from a different teacher, but still had no idea how to read music or count beats. After hearing about Mrs. Korim’s excellent reputation, my parents decided to enroll me in lessons. From the very first day, Mrs. Korim has always been energetic and enthusiastic about teaching me. She used a variety of methods to teach counting, rhythm, and dynamics including visuals, music games, and Youtube videos. If I didn’t understand how to play a measure, Mrs. Korim would use multiple ways to help explain it and made sure that I understood it. Her commitment, dedication, and compassion enlightened me as both a music student and as a human being. Not only did I learn how to play complicated pieces—Beethoven, Chopin, Bach—but I learned how to apply my music skills to real life. For instance, the discipline required to practice and stay committed to piano can be applied to school, work, or a club. I learned many valuable life lessons every Wednesday night when I went to Mrs. Korim’s for piano. She was always very empathetic and practical, and I would not have learned all the things that I did about life and music without her.

Mrs. Amy Korim is my piano teacher. In my second year I realized that I was improving as a pianist in ways that I did not think possible. The drive and zest she has for life in infectious. She has been my role model in the way I should approach life. Instead of being discouraged by shortcomings, Mrs. Korim has taught me that you can still learn and make changes. I do my best to incorporate the attitude and discipline I have learned from Mrs. Korim, which is applicable to nearly all aspects of life, not just piano or school.
