Originally from Seoul, South Korea, Anthony Do-Hoon Kim operates his piano studio at 3716 Jewell St in Pacific Beach, 92109, offering private instruction for students ranging from young beginners to advanced performers. Kim holds a Master of Music in Orchestral Conducting from the University of Michigan, where he studied under Kenneth Kiesler, along with both a bachelor's and master's degree in piano performance from UC Santa Barbara, where he trained with Charles Asche. Since 2013 he has served as a conductor with the San Diego Youth Symphony, one of the largest youth orchestra organizations in the country, directing ensembles including Sinfonia, Philharmonia, Chamber Orchestra, and the Community Opus Project, San Diego's El Sistema initiative. His competition credentials include first-prize piano awards from the Music Teachers National Association and the Saddleback Symphony Young Artist competition, and he is a recipient of multiple career grants from the Léni Fé Bland Foundation. The Jewell Street studio is tucked into a residential block south of Garnet, close to the Mediterranean plates and wine at Cafe Athena, which sits on the same stretch that many of his students' families frequent. Kim has led masterclasses and clinics at institutions such as The Colburn School, Idyllwild Arts Academy, San Diego State University, and the David's Harp Foundation. He teaches alongside concert pianist Jeeyoon Kim as part of the Kim & Kim Piano Academy, which also offers an intensive online program for intermediate adult pianists seeking professional-level feedback. Lessons are offered both online and in person, with language assistance available in English and Korean. The studio carries a perfect 5.0 Google rating, and the space is LGBTQ+ friendly with free street parking. Group music theory and sight-singing classes are available down the road at Sonic Bloom Music Academy LLC on Ingraham Street, a useful supplement for Kim's students preparing for ensemble auditions. Kim's rare combination of orchestral conducting experience and piano pedagogy gives his students insight into ensemble dynamics, phrasing, and musical interpretation that goes well beyond standard keyboard technique.
