Teacher's biographies
MIN JUNG PARK
Min Jung Park has a perfect, easy technique, a buttery tone...a natural feeling for the music, 
expressive inflection and lots of charm." 
Edith Eisler - String Magazine 

"She is a gracious, elegant fiddler, with a tensile approach to phrasing, a flexible bow control and - above all - a suave, unpressured, soft-grained sound that is reminiscent of such players as Kreisler and Oistrach."

Harris Goldsmith - New York Concert Review

"Incredible violin playing "
Chick Corea - Multi Grammy winner
