"Without music, Life would be a mistake"
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Soowon is a concert pianist, professional piano teacher and accompanist based in Sydney.
As a teacher, she specialises in tailored private lessons for talented students and adults looking to recapture their passion in music.
As a performer, she regularly performs with her chamber group Twelve88 as well as solo performances in both intimate and popular settings across NSW.
Performance
Since arriving in Australia in 2018, Soowon has actively contributed to Sydney’s live classical music scene whether with her chamber group Twelve88 or in a solo capacity. Having performed a wide ranging repertoire from Tchaikovsky and Mozart classics to modern compositions by Piazzolla, it was her 2023 Solo Recital at the Art Gallery of NSW, themed “April in Paris” that brought recognition. A scintillating evening of French influenced classical piano pieces, the audience was treated to works from the Romantic and Impressionist eras by Chopin, Debussy, Ravel, Liszt, Weissenberg as well as a jazzy encore piece, Toccata by Friedrich Gulda.
Soowon has since gone on to perform at the Tom Mann Theatre, Steinway Gallery and the Actors Centre Australia in Sydney, as well as regionally at the Manning Entertainment Centre, Taree.
Private Teaching
Music heals our brain and heart
Piano is not just about learning notes; it is about understanding the story behind the music and expressing creativity through piano keys.
With over 15 years of proven experience in teaching, Soowon will use this philosophy to guide her students in expanding their musicality and appreciation for music through tailored one-on-one lessons, whether they are talented students looking to elevate their skillset, or adults simply looking to rediscover their passion for music.
“Soowon is the fourth piano teacher I have ever had and is unquestionable the best by far. She selects music for me to learn that is a joy to play, pushes me at just the right pace and is a great communicator, imparting many tips that have helped improve my technique immeasurably. I would highly recommend her.”

“Soowon teaches with love, care and passion. My daughter is a very good judge of character and she tells me every time after lesson that Soowon is so kind to her and she is enjoying her time with her. I would definitely recommend her any time as she is truly special.”
Eva.R
“When we met Soowon, we noticed the difference immediately. Being kind but firm, she is amazing with her teaching techniques, and most of all she is enthusiastic about music, which makes a world of difference. Whenever my daughter learns a new piece, Soowon would sit with her and play a duet together, which always brings me to tears. Music is so beautiful.”
