About Tulip Music Art

Hello, my name is Eunah Chang, and I am the owner and director of Tulip Music Art. I am originally from South Korea, where I completed my masters in composition and music therapy. During this time, I started teaching piano, 

and this year marks my 30th year of being a piano teacher. 

I also have extensive experience working in music therapy 

as I started working during my graduate years, 

providing music and art therapy to clients of various ages. I also worked as a lecturer at Handong Global University and Jeju International University. 

I moved to Canada in 2012 and started my own home music studio with the goal to guide my students to become music lovers for the rest of their lives. As a result, a number of my students have decided to become junior teachers and teachers who currently work under me, all of whom have completed RCM 8 and the majority of whom have finished RCM 9 or higher. I am also a certified RCM Advanced, Intermediate, and Elementary Specialist.

My greatest wish is for all of my students to see music as a friend and something that they can love for the rest of their lives. 

As someone who started learning piano at the young age of 

5 years old, I can confidently say that music has been one of my greatest joys, comforts, and friends. Nothing would make me happier than seeing my own students experience this joy for themselves.

Hello~ My name is Kharis. I am currently completing my Doctor of Pharmacy with minors in Korean Studies and Forensic Sciences at Purdue University in Indiana. Despite going into a STEM-heavy major, music and teaching are two things I hold very dear and something that I am continuing to enjoy despite my busy academic life. 

I started learning piano when I was 6 years old and completed RCM 9 piano and RCM 10 Theory, both Harmony and History. During high school, I started working as an RCM certified teacher, and I am now focusing on teaching music theory online to small groups. I have certifications for Smart 8: Arts Convergence Program and for Piano Academia Education Specialist. I am also the official translator for the Piano Academia series.

Having been immersed in music from the young age of 6, I have found music to be a great friend for me throughout all these years. It is my greatest wish that I can help my own students experience this for themselves. 

Hi! My name is Khloe, and I am a freshman in university! As of now, I am studying Animal Sciences with a pre-veterinarian concentration and a minor in Sustainable Food and Farm Systems at Purdue University in Indiana. I have been an RCM certified teacher since 2024 and have been teaching as a junior teacher under Tulip Music Art since late 2022. I am currently working on my ARCT diplomas which I hope to finish in the next few years. 

My musical journey began with Teacher Eun Ah Chang when I was around 4 years old. After starting piano, I continuously took exams, including the RCM 8, RCM 9, and RCM 10 exams, leading me to the level that I am currently on. In my musical journey, I also had the chance to participate in the 2024 Global Sekwang Piano Competition and win second place in my division, as well as having some of my own students participate in piano competitions and festivals. 

I am a RCM certified teacher, a certified Smart 8: Arts Convergence Program teacher, and a Piano Academia Education Specialist. I currently teach some younger children Smart 8 and Piano Academia, while I teach older students RCM. My RCM certificate is an Elementary Piano certificate, but I am also currently teaching some intermediate level students. I have also taught and will be teaching online group RCM theory courses so that students can finish their RCM theory quickly without taking up piano lesson times!

I'm very excited to meet all of you!

Hi! My name is Crystal Lee, and I am a high school student and junior teacher that currently teaches kids Smart 8 and RCM theory. I am an RCM certified teacher, having completed RCM Level 9 and currently working toward Level 10.

I started learning piano when I was five through Smart 8: An Integrated Art, which helped me foster a foundation in both music and art. From there, I continued into RCM and have been developing my music skills ever since. Along the way, I received prizes from the Global Sekwang Piano Competition, which really encouraged me to grow and continue with music. 

My teaching experience started in 2024, when I was 15 years old. 

I started with getting my certifications as a Smart 8: Arts Convergence Program teacher! I am currently teaching Smart 8 online for a child in South Korea, and I am helping her learn English as we learn music and art. I am excited to be pioneering in online Smart 8 classes for people all around the world; I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learnt so far and helping students continue to grow just like I did! I also recently received my Piano Academia Education Specialist certificate and am teaching my very first piano student!

Fun Fact About Me: Outside of music, I love drawing and exploring different art mediums, which help me express myself and my creativity. 

Hello, my name is Louie Cho. I am currently preparing for the RCM Level 9 piano exam. My musical journey began when I was four years old. At first, I joined a program called Smart 8, and in Grade 1, I started formal piano lessons.

In the beginning, I didn’t enjoy piano because it felt difficult. However, thanks to my teacher’s patience and encouragement, I gradually developed a genuine interest in music. Over time, my skills improved, and I eventually passed the RCM Level 8 exam, an achievement I am very proud of.

I now attend the Calgary French & International School, where I play the French horn in the school band. While I don’t plan to major in piano, music remains an important and meaningful part of my life. Whether I am practicing the piano or the French horn, music always gives me a sense of peace and joy.

I hope that other young people, including my younger brother, can experience the same joy that music has brought me. Learning music is not only about developing skills; it also teaches patience, discipline, and perseverance. Above all, I hope music will continue to be a lifelong source of inspiration and happiness for me and others.

Hi! My name is Emily Lee, and I am a high school student in Calgary. Recently, I have completed my RCM level 8 and I am currently working on completing RCM level 10. In addition to my RCM journey in the past year, I have had the amazing opportunity of becoming a certified Smart 8 teacher as well as a certified Piano Academia teacher, and I have hopes to become a certified RCM piano teacher in the near future. 

While my academic experiences are heavily STEM based, ever since I was young I had a great passion for music, art, and everything in between. I truly believe that art and music is the core structure to my life and is something that I hold deep in my heart. Since many aspects of my life are split between STEM and fine arts, my goal for myself is to find different ways to integrate STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) into all of my students' musical and artistic journey. 

Aside from my academic journey, I have had many hobbies and great experiences in my life so far. My main few hobbies include taekwondo, Irish dancing, and piano. While all three of these activities seem unique and different in their own ways, all of them have led me to one great conclusion in my life, which is my love for all of my students; whether I taught them taekwondo, piano, or dance, they have been a great joy in my life.

Like previously mentioned before, fine arts and music has been a core part of my life and has led me to find who I am as a person, and I truly hope that I can be a small and humble part of all of my students' musical journeys.

Hello! My name is Jooha, and I am a junior teacher in the USA who is under Tulip Music Art. Having successfully completed my RCM Level 9 piano exam, I am currently completing my RCM Level 10 and starting the ARCT level, while also being a junior teacher and sharing my passion for music with the next generation of students.

My musical journey began when I was five years old. At first, piano was just daily practice, but over time, it became something I truly love doing. In addition to piano, I love exploring different areas of music - I play the violin and also play the trombone in my school marching band. Through my musical journey and the support and encouragement from my teacher, Eun-Ah Chang, I have earned my certifications in both the Smart 8: Arts Convergence Program, Piano Academia, and also many prizes including some in the Global Sekwang Piano Competition, third place in the Charleston International Piano Competition, and second place in the San Francisco International Piano Competition.

As an emerging junior teacher, my goal is to create an encouraging and engaging environment where everyone feels inspired to explore music. Since I play three different instruments, I am able to see music from a lot of angles. My goal as a teacher is to help students learn solid basics, feel proud of their progress, but more importantly, to learn to understand music as more than a thing but as a friend, a language, and a way they can express themselves.

I am excited to guide my students on their musical journeys and help them build a lifelong connection with music!
