WELCOME TO DR. OH PIANO STUDIO

Helping students discover the joy of piano in a nurturing environment.

Meet Dr. Michelle Oh

As a passionate and dedicated piano teacher, I strive to foster a deep love for music in all my students, regardless of their age or experience. I have been teaching piano for over two decades, working with students of all skill levels, ranging from young beginners to advanced performers preparing for competitions and college auditions.

I believe all students have their own unique musical journeys, and my teaching style is designed to meet each student’s needs. For younger students, I create a fun and supportive environment that makes learning piano an exciting adventure. For more advanced students, I emphasize precision, artistry, and preparation for performance opportunities in competitions or recitals.

Along with private lessons, I offer specialized coaching for students preparing for college auditions, and for those seeking to improve their technical skills or develop their musicality for personal enjoyment. My goal is not only to build a solid musical foundation, but also to cultivate confidence and creativity in each student.

Whether you’re a parent looking for a positive, inspiring teacher for your child, or an adult seeking to explore the piano, I am committed to helping my students achieve their musical goals and enjoy the learning process.

Teaching Philosophy

Music is more than just notes on a page. It's a journey of self-expression, discipline, and creativity. Whether you're a young beginner, an advanced student, an adult learner, or preparing for college auditions or competitions, I believe each student’s path is unique. I strive to guide my students in a way that aligns with their interests and goals.

For Young Beginners:

My teaching philosophy centers on building a strong musical foundation while keeping lessons fun and engaging. I use a blend of classical technique and creative teaching methods, allowing students to learn the fundamentals of piano while exploring their own musical expression.

I foster an encouraging environment in which students can feel comfortable making mistakes and can discover new concepts at their own pace.

For Advanced Students & Competition Preparation:

For students looking to refine their technique or prepare for competitions, I focus on precision, interpretation, and artistry. I guide students through mastering an advanced repertoire, ensuring they are well-prepared for challenging performances, whether at competitions or recitals.

My emphasis is on building confidence, emotional expression, and the technical mastery necessary to excel in high-level performances.

For College Audition Preparation:

Preparation for college auditions is a pivotal time in a student’s musical journey. I offer specialized guidance for preparing audition materials that showcase both technical proficiency and artistic maturity.

Students will be coached in performance preparation, interview techniques, and creating a well-rounded audition program that highlights their strengths.

For Adult Learners:

Adult students bring a unique set of experiences and goals to their piano studies. Whether you’re looking to play for personal enjoyment, to develop a deeper understanding of music theory, or to accomplish specific musical goals, I tailor my lessons to suit your individual needs.

Learning an instrument as an adult is incredibly rewarding, and I believe in fostering a relaxed and motivating environment in which adults can progress at their own pace.
