Faculty & Staff

I believe in three fundamental principles of teaching: to actively communicate with students, to nurture them in an enjoyable and supportive environment, and to carefully create strategies for further development.
MyungJin Oh is a professional performing musician and emerging music scholar from South Korea. She made her debut as a soloist at the age of thirteen, performing Mozart’s Concerto No. 21, K. 467 and Chopin’s Concerto No. 2, Op. 21 at Bolshowii Hall in the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, where she was praised by critics for her sensitive musicianship. She has won numerous competitions and has performed in major concert venues across Korea, Austria, Russia, Italy, and the United States.
Oh’s academic research centers on organology and practice-based performance studies. Her PhD dissertation, “Timbre in Chopin’s Parisian Piano Music, 1830s-1840s,” has been presented at major conferences, including the International Musicological Conference hosted by the National Chopin Institute in Warsaw, Poland, the Annual Meeting of the American Musicological Society, and the Forte|Piano Festival-Conference by Cornell University. Her review of Deirdre Loughridge’s Sounding Human: Music and Machines, 1740/2020, was published by the Journal of the American Musicological Society, where she also served as an editorial assistant for reviews from 2023 to 2025.
Oh received a PhD and a DMA from Rutgers University, where she has been serving as a Lecturer since 2022.
