About Olivia
About Me — Jazz Pianist & Educator from Korea Hello! My name is Olivia, and I’m a professional jazz pianist and dedicated music educator originally from Korea. I hold a Master’s degree in Jazz Studies (Piano) from the University of Southern California (USC) and a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz Piano from Hanyang University in Seoul. When I was accepted into USC’s Jazz Studies master’s program, I was honored to receive a scholarship based on my audition performance — a recognition of my musical ability and potential. I have over 7 years of teaching experience, working with a wide range of students — from young children to adults, including students who were preparing for college music auditions. I offer lessons in both English and Korean, either online or in-person for students in the Los Angeles area.

About My Teaching Approach
As a jazz pianist with a Master’s degree from USC Thornton School of Music, I offer a well-rounded and flexible teaching style that adapts to each student’s goals, whether you're learning for fun or preparing for serious music studies.
Teaching Method & Techniques
My approach blends strong foundational skills with creativity and personal expression. I focus on technique, rhythm, voicing, improvisation, and ear training—especially in jazz—but I also teach classical repertoire, pop/keyboard styles, and music theory. I use a mix of method books, custom exercises, and real music to keep lessons engaging and practical.
Typical Lesson Plan
Each lesson usually includes:
Warm-up and technique
Repertoire or improvisation work (based on your goals)
Music theory or ear training integration
Creative exercises (like composing, comping, or improvising)
Lessons are personalized—whether you’re preparing for a school audition, exploring jazz harmony, or just beginning your piano journey.
What Sets Me Apart
As a bilingual Korean-English speaker, I support students from diverse backgrounds and learning styles. I’ve worked with students of all ages—from young beginners to adult learners—and I bring patience, encouragement, and clarity to every session. I also understand the challenges of studying music in a second language and can help guide non-native speakers with confidence.
Who My Lessons Are For
Beginners to advanced students
Children, teens, and adults
Jazz-focused musicians, classical learners, or hobbyists
Students preparing for auditions, recitals, or music school entrance exams
Anyone looking to improve their musicality, creativity, and confidence
Let’s make music learning inspiring and joyful together!

Olivia is a passionate and trustworthy piano teacher. Her lessons are always well-prepared and tailored to each student’s level. She creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere, making learning enjoyable. I confidently recommend her to anyone.
I started doing lessons with Olivia not too long ago and I am glad I didn't go to anyone else. I can tell that she genuinely loves piano and that she loves to teach. I'm a beginner so I felt a bit nervous at first but she was so kind and patient that I was able to feel comfortable quickly. She was able to help me grow in skill but also helped me grow my musical mind. I am so thankful and would recommend Olivia everyone!
