About
Jeong Min Lee began her
career as a pianist and educator in Seoul, South Korea, and has also taught at
Huree University (Ulaanbaater, Mongolia), Northwestern University in Evanston, IL,
Yanbian University of Science and Technology and Yanbian International Academy (China),
the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the Music Academy of Chicago in
Northbrook, IL. With her extensive
background in both classroom and private teaching, she has designed unique
programs and individualized instruction for students of all age levels, from
beginning to advanced. Her doctoral
project focused on developing performing strategies for small-handed pianists.
Dr. Lee has performed extensively as a pianist and chamber musician
throughout the United States, and in Canada, China, and South Korea. Among the honors she has received are the Kato Perlman
Scholarship Award, which allowed her to perform in recital with the Perlman
Trio at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2011-2013), and the William Harrison Barnes Scholarship
Award from Northwestern University which permitted her to gain significant collaborative experience as a
performer. Dr. Lee was also the winner of the UW-Madison Beethoven Sonata Competition, and the UW-Madison Piano Concerto Competition, the latter of which led to an
appearance as soloist in the Beethoven Fourth Piano Concerto with the University
Orchestra.
Jeong Min continues her commitment to bringing music to the local
community-at-large by offering numerous concerts at many Chicagoland venues,
churches, and at the Skokie Performing Arts Center.
