About this program
A private violin studio on Mercer Island run by violinist Jiyeon Yeo, offering one-on-one lessons for beginners through advanced players, children and adults. Teaching blends Suzuki repertoire with sight-reading and a focus on fundamentals, tone and musicality. Yeo holds an Artist Diploma from Duquesne University and bachelor's and master's degrees from the Cleveland Institute of Music, has taught at Duquesne, Carnegie Mellon, the Ellis School and Seattle's Bright Water Waldorf School, and performs with ensembles including the Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra.
Families praise Jiyeon's patience and skill with young beginners, including a parent of a five-year-old who notes she keeps a very short attention span engaged and teaches something new every lesson. Reviewers specifically credit her for combining Suzuki method with sight-reading so students connect written notes to sound. Older students and adults describe her as encouraging and give her credit for concrete, practical practice advice, and reviewers note her depth of repertoire experience.
