Well, my name is Philip Kim. I'm a pianist and a piano teacher, now living in Ise-shi, Japan.
As you already can tell, I love Super Mario. I love transcribing not only game music but other melodies that I think are beautiful for the piano. I compose and arrange just because I like to.
I was mostly self-taught on the piano until I got into my university. I have had very few teachers, but only one teacher had a huge impact in my musical life. My teacher and mentor, Laurel Brettell. Thanks to her, I wanted to become the best piano teacher I possibly can. More importantly, she taught me how to enjoy and love the piano even more and share that joy with others.
