Journey Choi is more than just an extraordinary electric cellist; she's a mentor, performer, and passionate advocate for musical expression.

Her dedication to her craft led her to prestigious institutions like the Peabody Conservatory at the Johns Hopkins University and the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music, where she honed her skills and expanded her musical horizons.
Now based in Dallas, Texas, Journey is not only a mother of two boys but also a dedicated teacher who creates a nurturing environment at JC Cello Studio. Here, students of all levels can thrive and explore the beauty of the cello while unlocking their full potential.

TESTIMONIALS
"I took lessons from Mrs. Choi for over 5 years, and I couldn’t have asked for a better cello teacher. She not only challenged and helped me excel greatly in playing the cello, but she genuinely cared and still cares about me as a person. I played in the West Plano cluster orchestra program, which is very difficult, and I couldn’t have had as much success as I did without her as my teacher. She formed a strong personal connection as a friend and a teacher, which, as a current Baylor education student, I’ve learned is extremely important. It is what allowed me to excel in my music as well. I would highly recommend taking private lessons from Mrs. Choi!"
