As one of her students, learning in Jinny's Violin Studio allows you to reach further than your goal in violin. She knows exactly what skills you lack and what you are adept at. She encourages to join and help prepare for different competitions or auditions for orchestras. Overall, she is a great teacher.

Jinny has been my violin teacher for the past three years, and I feel so lucky to have her as my teacher not only because she is professional and patient but also she makes learning music/violin fun and enjoyable. She is very passionate about teaching and really cares about her students. The best part of her teaching is that she motivates her students by setting goals, listening to her students, teaching the music that I love and holding 2-3 annual recitals. If you are looking for a great violin teacher, talk to Jinny now.
My 8-year-old daughter has been learning violin from Jinny for the past 7+ months, and has dramatically been transformed into a musically-oriented and stable kid in many aspects: She used only to listen to Kidz Bop and has expanded her musical enjoyment to classical genre as well, esp. strings in general (e.g. by requesting me to play violin music in a car, which never happened before); is now comfortable in reading sheet music (which I couldn't make happen before); is able to stay focused for 45+ minutes, which is helping her with other static activities such as reading, writing etc. (she used to complain about boredom and physical pain about being in a static position more than 10 minutes); got her self-esteem boosted up since she gets a sense of accomplishment herself by witnessing how she gets disciplined enough to show up and also how she improves; and last but not least, got to express and regulate her emotions through music.
I am convinced that all the above were possible because Jinny, with her delicate sensibilities with people, ceaselessly studies pedagogical approaches (not just in teaching violin techniques though I was impressed with her attention to detailed movement and tension of each finger knuckle as well as muscles of my daughter's back and shoulder etc., but in engaging children with lessons and her and assessing their needs) and enhances herself.
To our family, Jinny's violin lessons have become such an integral part for our child to get her life organized and a sense of calm, which gives the whole family a therapeutic effect in this challenging time.
