"Jean is one of the best piano teachers I've studied with. In the three years I have been her student, I have seen my technical and performance skills improve greatly and, as a result, been able to excel in competition. I've received over $1500 combined in awards through piano. Highlights include 1st place in RPTA YAA (Young Artist II Division) and the RMC Young Artists Competition, as well as 2nd place in ECU’s Young Artist Competition, both in the senior divisions, as well as a music minor scholarship from CAPTA. Jean makes learning fun but still holds high standards, and she doesn't let things slide. For me, what sets her apart is her genuine care about her students outside of their piano lessons, which I have experienced personally. She is a remarkable educator and performer who is able to explain things clearly and demonstrate what is expected in technique and expression. I am so grateful to have learned from her, and I'm excited to continue my musical journey in college."

"You are an amazing piano teacher! Not only do you understand me deeply, you help me focus on my playing, going through every last detail and teaching at least ten new concepts every day. You encourage me to try new things, and you stay with me throughout my progress. I love how you sightread so quickly, and I have learned so much. I look forward to the lesson we have weekly every day!"

"We are incredibly fortunate to have found Park Piano Studio for our son, Wally. The teacher is exceptionally nice, patient, and has a wonderful way of igniting Wally’s passion for music. What we appreciate most is the teacher's insightful guidance. Whenever Wally encounters a technical challenge, the teacher is always so supportive, helping him break down the difficulty and guiding him step-by-step toward the best way to solve it.
Furthermore, the studio offers tailored performance opportunities based on each student’s progress. These experiences have significantly boosted Wally’s confidence and stage presence. We highly recommend Park Piano Studio to anyone looking for a dedicated, encouraging, and inspiring piano teacher."

“I have been studying with my teacher Dr. Park for about five years now. I really like the way she teaches me because she is always very focused and stops to help me. Also, she is very skilled. Every time I learn a new piece even if she hasn't seen it before she can play it fluently. ”

“You are an awesome piano teacher! Every time I am with you it feels like I'm with family, especially when you help me with any music troubles I have. You are honestly the best piano teacher I've ever had.”

“My daughter Philina is very lucky to have a piano teacher who she simply adores. Jean has a magical way of engaging young children, while inspiring them to go extra mile. Thanks to Jean's constant encouragement and vigorous teaching, Philina is accepted to Manhattan School of Music Pre College and will be one of the youngest piano major students at the age of 6. ”

"There’s a difference between those who claim to be an ideal instructor, and those who actually are. Throughout the city you may find hundreds if not thousands of “piano teachers”. With so many pianists on-board, it is hard to find one whom is legitimate. I’ve came across those who knew less theory then I, as well as a select few who could not even play at my level.
During my trial lesson with Jean, she not only fixed my technique, but she managed to reignite my ambition to playing. Being an individual whom has one of the most optimistic/kindest personalities, I found it surprising that Jean is no pushover; she is also strict and demanding to the most minuscule details when playing. In other words Jean has the ability to take what seem to be 2 opposing attitudes in order to; not find a middle-ground, but rather create a new entity; her own method of teaching, I’ve improved more in 3 months then I did in years with other teachers.
I couldn’t be any happier with my progress, and all my thanks can go to Jean Park."

"My daughter Charlotte was Jean's student for 4 years in New York. She started piano at age 4 & has made tremendous progress under Jean's teaching. Jean is wonderful with children as she is patient and kind. In the years that we've known her, she has gone above and beyond to help her students to achieve their potential. Jean is in tune with the strengths and weaknesses of her students and works with them accordingly. I strongly recommend Jean as a piano teacher."
— Mei, parent of Charlotte
