    Yuhee is a native of South Korea that began taking piano lessons as early as age 3 and continued her music study throughout her childhood. She enjoyed practicing her scales and etudes, and performing what she learned with pure excitement. Her love of music flourished when she turned 16 and started taking violin lessons. She was part of the University of Michigan Youth Orchestra and spent her high school summers traveling all over the US, South Korea, Italy and the Czech Republic performing at many festivals such as the Montecito International Music Festival and the International Music Festival of the Adriatic.

    She received her Bachelors in Music for violin performance at Ohio University followed by a Masters in Music and Artist's Diploma from New York University.

Yuhee draws inspiration from her past instructors and has a passion for continuing her education, and soaking up music knowledge from her peers and students. Her goal in lessons is to help students to grow musical ideas and as a teacher, she believes having fun while playing music is essential.
