Hello Korean Families,
안녕하세요, 제 이름은 박진아입니다. My name is Jinah Park, Welcome to the No-Re-Se-Sang page. 노래( pronounced No-Re) means Song. 세상(pronounced Se-Sang) means World. A World filled with Songs! In 2000, I moved to Brooklyn from Korea to pursue a master’s degree in Piano Performance and have been a proud Brooklynite ever since. I am a professional pianist and music educator. I teach piano students of all ages and all levels. I have also taught classroom music in schools. In recent years, I have become passionate about teaching early childhood music class as a “ Music Together®” instructor. “Music Together®” is a fantastic and very well known program for families with babies and toddlers. I am also a mom to my 12 year old daughter! While my classes are designed and based on my experience working with early childhood students, they are inspired by my journey as a parent helping my daughter to understand, speak, read and write in Korean from her early years on. Greeting each other hello in Korean and singing Korean nursery songs that I myself grew up with, and that many of you may have also known, brings us great joy! I look forward to engaging students and parents in speaking, reading (and writing eventually, too!) in Korean. And, music and singing will be the perfect vehicle for that! I hope my classes will become a companion in your family’s journey in Korean language and culture. 감사합니다! Thank you!
