As a first-year, my main goals for lessons were simply to continue improving with my instrument, especially when I joined an ensemble. I feel that lessons have kept me engaged with music and also have begun to introduce me to a community of like-minded musicians, which has been helpful.

Dr. Shin teaches not only effectively but also with enthusiasm, which I appreciate!
