Private Lessons

Dave Kim brings a rare combination of world-class performance experience and genuine pedagogical artistry to private music instruction. His curriculum — spanning piano, guitar, violin, and DJing — is thoughtfully designed for discerning families who understand that exceptional training produces exceptional results.

From the very first lesson, students perform music that exceeds their expected ability. Dave's proprietary teaching methodology accelerates mastery while cultivating a lifelong love of music — a distinction that separates his approach from conventional instruction.

For students who are deeply engaged with technology and gaming, Dave offers an innovative curriculum that channels that passion creatively — incorporating platforms like Fortnite and Roblox as gateways to genuine musical expression and composition. By leveraging in-game virtual currency as an incentive, Dave taps into what already motivates young learners — transforming practice and progress into a rewarding experience they genuinely look forward to. Through his partnership with Flowkey, students also benefit from one of the world's most sophisticated interactive piano learning platforms, reinforcing lessons between sessions with guided, self-paced practice.

Private instruction is available in person or via Zoom and FaceTime, offering the flexibility today's families require without compromising the quality they expect.

Practice Piano Between Lessons with Flowkey

Flowkey is the app I recommend to my students for practicing at home. It listens while you play, gives instant feedback, and has step-by-step lessons and songs for every level, from total beginner to advanced. It’s a great way to keep the momentum going between our sessions.
