Jin Jeon

 I’m Jin Jeon, a pianist, educator, and certified Taubman Approach teacher, originally from South Korea and now based in Vienna. Music has always been a profound part of my life, but my journey as a pianist has been shaped by both challenges and transformation.
 

 After completing my Bachelor of Music at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin, I faced a career-threatening injury that left me questioning my future at the piano. Searching for a solution, I discovered the Taubman Approach and traveled to New York City to retrain under Edna Golandsky at the Golandsky Institute. This period of deep re-learning taught me that true freedom in playing comes from healthy, coordinated movement — and that healing and artistry are deeply connected.

 Returning to Germany, I continued my musical path, earning my Master of Music at the Hochschule für Musik Mainz. Alongside my formal studies, I dedicated myself to an intensive exploration of the Taubman work, ultimately becoming a certified instructor through the Golandsky Institute.

 In addition to my transformative studies with Edna Golandsky, I had the privilege of learning from remarkable artists and teachers who enriched my musical understanding, including Thomas Hell, Eldar Nebolsin, Henri Sigfridsson, Hiroko Fukui, and Bum-Suk Kim. I also drew inspiration from masterclasses with Klaus Hellwig, John Perry, Thomas Bagwell, Sontraud Speidel, Klaus Schilde, Jean-Marie Cottet, and François Thinat. I am deeply grateful for all the guidance and insights I received along the way.
 

 My journey has not only brought me to wonderful teachers but also to concert stages across South Korea, Japan, Germany, France, and Italy. I have been honored with awards such as the Grand Prix at the Sisa Music Competition (South Korea), First Prize at the International Euregio Piano Award (Germany), Second Prize at the Cochem Klaviersommer (Germany), and recognition as a finalist at the International Osaka Music Competition (Japan). Scholarships from the Valdonica Art Foundation (Italy) and the Golandsky Institute (USA) also supported my artistic development.

 Shaped by these rich experiences and transformations, I now devote myself to teaching, helping others find their own freedom and expression at the piano. Alongside my work at the Hochschule für Musik Mainz, I work internationally with pianists from Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, the UK, Hungary, the Netherlands, Belgium, South Korea, Japan, China, and Turkey — many of whom are seeking to overcome injuries, rebuild their technique, and rediscover their musical voice.

 I believe that growth in learning and music-making is a lifelong journey — one that never truly ends. It is my privilege and passion to support those who seek healing, artistry, and growth in their musical paths.​​​​​​​​​​​​
