Focus on the systemized education and practical stage experience

"In order to achieve what they want in the future, there are several stages to take. One of the short cut to achieve dream is to take step by step, overcoming obstacles with a strong will even though such steps do not seem to be needed right in the moment."


▶ Professor Gi Young Lee(Department of Music)

This is the reason why professor Lee teaches theories as well as practical training in the major of live music at Chun-Ahn campus. Systemized academic theory and concepts lay a firm foundation for students after graduating and when they build career on themselves. Professor Lee has proceeded "live music practice-composition" class and "performance" class at the same time during the last year, winning Best Teaching Award based on lecture evaluation from students. The performance class promotes students to design concert, providing an opportunity for them to have stage experience, and the live music-composition class is based on the systemized study for overall items for music production. Especially, the composition class touches overall items for music production exploiting computer based on composition. 

"Recently, music industry has a new trend to have one person musician via developments of music technology exploiting eletronic music. I think it is my role to teach students regarding this trend, helping them adjust such a new environment to produce music on their own."

As an environment of popular music industry exchanges a lot, there are many of theories that students should learn along with musical skills, professor Lee adopted course-related lectures covering topics from freshmen year to senior, making an academic environment for systemized study. Solving problems in various angles and repeating processes ultimately convey students a solid unification of knowledge out of fractions. Professor Lee has emphasized this point.

"During the class, I help students know what is really important for themselves without exterior support via mini-report presentation. Since practical music has a wide range of academic field, there are plenty of cases for students not figuring out what they really want to be, so I at lease want to help them set up personal goals. Listening to students and figuring out their own aptitudes are also effective ways."

"I want to cultivate professional practical musicians, contributing their talents into an advanced level of popular music based on music theories and systemized education with firm academic ground.

We expect the passion and aspiration of professor Lee, communicating with students in their own horizons, to ultimately lay grounds for strengthen capability of students.
