Our Story
Chris’Gallery Curriculum started with a curiosity from the president of Chris’Gallery. He asks the universe these questions,“My dream is to invest in the next generation with my creativity. We all know the art of learning piano is good for every child, so in what way can our modern students spark and sustain their interest in learning the piano, so that their creativity and confidence they build here can be influenced in their everyday lives? Is there such a creative way to our lessons, that students can learn and build a collection of pieces that they are interested in and want to express about? Will that spark and charm our next generation to continue to create endlessly, ultimately believing in themselves, that their creativity will build and shape our modern world?”
To answer these questions, Chris’Gallery was born. At Chris’Gallery, an idea is sparked by each student. Then, our in-house composers make that idea blossom into a complete piece of music, sometimes classical, sometimes modern, sometimes both, depending on the student’s personality, age, learning curve, and interest. Then, our Artist in Residence illustrates the student’s idea that blends in to the piece seamlessly, making each piece iconic. These complete pieces of music are then portrayed as a collection that is performed by the student at our Bi-Annual Chris’Gallery Students’ Concert in New York.
Chris’Gallery is a Bespoke Piano Club for the few elite individuals and students who advocates and loves to be creative in their artistic venture. Not only do they build their collections they will learn and perform, students at Chris’Gallery build their confidence, recognize their true value as an artist and an academic, and their creativity is consistently advocated and encouraged so that one day, they too can spread the importance and beauty of creativity and fine art to our modern world.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it always starts with an idea. Please give us a call to be a part of our Bespoke Piano Club for you and/or for your child, here at Chris’Gallery. Thank you.
Oh my, here is a picture of young me, having a lesson with possibly the best professor I have learned from. I still remember him whispering into my ear “Yae-Ppo” which means beautiful or pretty in Korean. To this day, I don’t know if he was referring the adjective to my cuteness or the Debussy I played for him.
A glimpse about the President
Extremely funny, charming, talented, smart, ambitious, and taken. Yes, I am married with my gorgeous wife.
did I say funny?
Fun fact, piano IS ACTUALLY an extension of my body.
Went to Juilliard for my education since the age of 8 (oh poor me)
Obsessed with Chris’Gallery students engagement and their artistic explorations.
Definitely a talker rather then a listener (but I’m working on that at the moment)
Hates seriousness. Nothing is too serious in life. There is always a solution to everything.
Most importantly, I obey, love, and serve my Majesty, Jesus Christ in all that I do.
