Johnna Jeong
Originally drawn to the piano, Johnna's early years in a military family with frequent moves led her to the guitar as a more portable choice, quickly igniting a passion. Her musical journey has embraced a diverse span of genres, including Classical, Jazz, Blues, Popular, Country, Songwriting, Brazilian, and other Latin styles.
After earning a B.A. in music from Virginia Commonwealth University and an M.M. from East Carolina University, Johnna relocated to Atlanta.

Teaching both children and adults, Johnna's guitar students have ranged from beginner music enthusiasts and novice players to budding artists and professionals seeking new ideas. Covering a range of styles, many of her students have performed in recitals, musicals, ensembles, bands, and competitions.
