Sungho Jung

Hello everyone, I look forward to working with you! My name is Dr. Jung, and I play and teach violin and viola. I debuted with the Seoul Grand Symphony Orchestra at age 13 and the Rainbow Youth Orchestra at age 14. Since then, I have gone on to win several competitions in South Korea and completed my education in both the Czech Republic and the USA.

In addition to over 10 years of private lesson teaching experience, I am violin faculty at the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp in Michigan and a violin instructor with the Jackson Symphony String Team.

When I'm not teaching, you can find me performing for the “If Music be the Food…Lansing” series and Camerata Michigan, Cello Plus Series directed by Suren Bagratuni. I was concertmaster for the Michigan State Concert Orchestra and have appeared with several regional orchestras, including the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra, Battle Creek Symphony Orchestra, Jackson Symphony Orchestra, Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra and Midland Symphony Orchestra.

I hold a Doctor of Musical Arts in Violin Performance from Michigan State University (student of Dmitri Berlinsky and Yvonne Lam), an M.M. in Violin Performance from Boston University (student of Bayla Keyes), a B.M. in Violin Performance from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (student of Kevin Lawrence), and a certificate of completion (student of Jiří Fišer) from the Prague Conservatory.

I have experience teaching private lessons, group lessons, masterclasses, and recently completed my D.M.A. at Michigan State University. Additionally, I have experience doing orchestra sectionals and technique classes from my time at the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. I regularly work with the Jackson String Team teaching group classes to elementary school beginners. In addition to my strong background as a violin teacher and performer, I am also an experienced violist, with chamber music performances in Italy. My comprehensive experience in both violin and viola would be ideal to guide musicians of all ages in their personal studies and ensemble pursuits.

I believe that my years of knowledge and experience will help students to improve their skills and reach their goals. I am excited for the opportunity to discuss how my skill set can contribute to the amazing students.
