Information About Hyuk - Sheffield teacher

Personal Description:

Welcome to my page, my name is Hyuk. I am new to First Tutors but have been teaching the piano for many years. I also teach at the Sheffield Music Academy.

A little bit about me:

I am a South Korean classical pianist currently based in the Yorkshire region. I have a wide range of performing and teaching experiences. I completed my Masters of Music in Piano Performance at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (2017) and Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance at the Royal Academy of Music (2015). I am also an active performer who regularly performs in places such as Beverley Minster, St Michael’s Church in Macclesfield, the Sheffield Cathedral, Cafe#9 in Sheffield, and so on. In addition, I am one of the current conductors for the University of Sheffield Concert Orchestra and have orchestral performance experience.

I was previously under the tutelage of Petras Geniusas during my time in the RCS and won the first prize in the New Stars Piano Competition in Glasgow in 2015. My other personal achievements include the following:

1. First prize in the Young Musician of the Gulf, alongside with the Best Pianist Award and Most Promising Bahrain-Based Musician Award (2010)
2. Third prize in the First International Chopin Competition in Kuwait (2010)
3. Received an invitation to participate in the Second Aegaeon Art International Festival in Greece and was also invited to perform in a Winners Concert in the Crescendo Summer Institute in Hungary (2014)

Tutoring Experience:

Most of my students have achieved above Merit grade in their ABRSM examinations. It is my strength to work with students according to their individual needs and help them figure out the best way to enhance their music or piano playing skills. I also have experience working with special needs children (ASD, speech developmental delay, etc) and I am always ready to explore different ways to help people enjoy music in their own way.

DBS check available on request.

Tutoring Approach:

I am passionate about music performance and sharing my professional knowledge. I look forward to working with anyone who is interested in playing the piano.
