Beginner training plan

Your first lessonWe’ll assess your current level, musical goals, and stylistic interests (classical, pop, film scoring, songwriting, etc.). You’ll be introduced to foundational techniques, rhythm, and musicality in a relaxed and engaging session. For advanced students, we’ll do a performance review and begin technical fine-tuning.

Lesson 2-3We’ll begin building a solid foundation in hand coordination, musical expression, and sight-reading (or elevate your existing technique if you’re intermediate/advanced). You’ll also receive personalized warmups and practice strategies. Song selection or composition tasks will align with your goals.

Lesson 4-10Expect rapid progress here. Beginners will start learning full pieces with proper phrasing and dynamic control. Intermediate/advanced students may explore interpretative performance, improvisation, or songwriting. You’ll also learn efficient practice habits and performance mindset techniques. If desired, music theory and ear training will be introduced or deepened.

Lesson 11+Now we get to mastery and creative expansion. You may prepare for competitions, diploma exams, auditions, or create original music. This is also where we explore stage presence, recording prep, and advanced technique refinement. For industry-focused students, I also offer guidance in music business, branding, and content creation.

How it works

We begin with an in-depth assessment of your technique, repertoire, and artistic voice. I’ll observe your playing in detail, identify technical habits (good and bad), and discuss your musical goals—whether that’s preparing for a diploma, competition, or developing your artistry as a serious performer, composer, or creator. You’ll leave this lesson with immediate high-level feedback and a personalized roadmap.

Lesson 2-3We’ll start refining your tone production, articulation, and expressive phrasing across your existing repertoire. Technique is tailored based on your goals—whether that’s velocity, hand balance, or advanced pedaling. I’ll also introduce mindset tools for performance, audition prep, or portfolio development if needed. If applicable, we’ll begin structuring your routine around upcoming competitions, recording sessions, or creative output.

Lesson 4-10You’ll now see measurable growth in your execution, interpretative nuance, and musical confidence. We’ll explore multiple genres if desired (classical, jazz, film score, crossover), while deepening expression, rhythm control (including polyrhythms and off-time signatures), and advanced musical storytelling. You may also start working on original compositions or arrangements. For career-focused musicians, we can begin talking about performance strategy, content creation, and audience building.

Lesson 11+This is where artistry meets mastery. Whether you’re pursuing conservatory, building a portfolio, or performing professionally, I’ll guide you through the fine-tuning of repertoire, recital or jury prep, stage presence, and even music industry navigation. You’ll also have the option to explore original composition, hybrid styles, or content direction if your goals extend beyond the stage. This phase is fully customized based on who you are—and where you’re going.

Youth players

Working with kidsI focus on helping young children build a strong, joyful foundation in music through creative games, fun rhythms, and storytelling-based learning. With over 9 years of international experience, I help my youngest students develop proper technique, rhythm, and musicality—while also fostering curiosity and discipline. Each lesson is personalized to your child’s age, energy, and musical interest, ensuring they fall in love with music from day one. Teaching materials are provided, and all travel within Beverly Hills is included.

Working with teenagersTeen students receive structured guidance with a balance of creativity and accountability. Whether they’re learning piano for enjoyment, school auditions, competitions, or college prep (including ABRSM, Diploma, or Berklee-style contemporary studies), I tailor lessons to meet them where they are and challenge them to grow. Many of my teen students have gone on to win international competitions or pursue music in higher education. I also mentor students in songwriting, performance confidence, and how to use music as a personal outlet. Teaching materials are provided, with travel within Beverly Hills included.

Grieg

I was recommended to Jolynn by a friend and I’m so glad I reached out. I was looking for someone to come to my apartment in Beverly Hills after classes at UCLA, and she made everything super convenient and stress-free. She’s also highly respected in the music industry, which makes a huge difference. Every lesson feels purposeful, and she teaches in a way that’s creative but super clear. I was preparing for auditions and learning composing. Can’t recommend her enough.

Benjamin

It was a great pleasure to learn from Ms Jolynn. Many piano techniques have been taught to me, such as keeping my fingers curved at all times. She is the first piano teacher that helped me receive 2 gold medals in my national and international level piano competitions. Before the rise of COVID-19, I experienced lots of outdoor and indoor performances activity with her. I'd love to get this opportunity to go around with her and see her perform on stage. Many compliments to her for her piano ability and talent.

Rebecca Hanson

As a college student at UCLA, I was looking for someone who could work with my busy schedule and come to my place in Beverly Hills for lessons. Ms Jolynn was the perfect fit. She’s insanely talented, was kinda nervous seeing her since she’s Grammy-considered and stuff but don’t worry, she’s also super down-to-earth and easy to learn from. I was originally just looking for a way to keep up piano casually, but she helped me improve so quickly that I ended up working on harder repertoire and even writing my own music. I think having someone who actually works in the industry means you learn what really matters in the end, not just like theory from a textbook.

Tina Z

She helped my daughter not only win GOLD! in a national piano competition last year, but also prepared her for a successful scholarship audition at a top arts high school here in Beverly Hills. Jolynn understands exactly what adjudicators and scholarship panels are looking for and taught her techniques and musicality to performance presence and mindset. She truly invests in her students, and if you’re looking for someone who combines elite training with real industry knowledge, Jolynn is the teacher to trust. We’ve worked with a number of teachers over the years, but Jolynn is in a league of her own.

Susan and Marla

In a place like Beverly Hills where there are options, having someone like Jolynn who blends world-class artistry with real industry knowledge, is truly rare. If you want lessons that actually prepare you for the real world — not just exams — she’s the one. Studying with Jolynn has completely changed the way I see music. She’s not just a teacher — she’s a Grammy-considered artist who actually lives in the music industry, and that experience shows in everything she does. She helped me (and my child) go beyond just playing notes — we learned how to interpret, perform, and even create music with real emotional depth. She teaches with so much care, clarity, and intention.

Bénédicte

Starting from scratch when you are an adult is not simple but Jolynn gave me the confidence I needed and believed in me. I am super happy to be able to play my favourite songs, thanks Jolynn for her patience and professionalism. Merci !
