About Us

My name is Jayden Kim, and I attend Sunny Hills High School. I started playing the clarinet in 5th grade at Robert C. Fisler Elementary School and was in the advanced/honors band. I started at CM Level 7 in 8th grade, and I am currently preparing for the advanced level (Level 10). I have always been passionate about music because my parents have exposed me to music throughout my life, and over time, I gained experience and my own knowledge about music. I joined Music Angels Hands in 8th grade, and I will never look back. For a long time, I worked as the Resource and Data Development vice president, and I had the best time managing the teaspectsl aspect of the club. When I got promoted to president, I promised to not only ensure the club's safety but to also help the students work more efficiently in balancing their extracurriculars with their academics. I want to help children globally through the power of music and help them realize how impactful music can really be. Every donation and tip helps contribute to changing the lives of children across the world. I hope to organize and facilitate many great projects while being president so that the members could have a great time while also helping the community. 

My name is Chloe Shim and I am a Senior attending Sunny Hills High School. I am an Advisor of our club, who is in charge of mentoring members in all aspects that include leadership, outreach, and making Music Angels Hands a more closely knit family. I’ve been playing the piano since I was 7 years old, and am a Certificate of a Merit Level 10 (Advanced) State Honor recipient, 2nd place winner in the SATORI Summer Music Festival (2021, 2022), MTAC Theme Festival 2022 Silver medalist (2022), and Southern Youth Music Festival (Advanced Category) 3rd Place winner (2022). Throughout my years playing the piano, I have found that I love place pieces from Chopin because it requires bringing out a wide range of emotions. I have been a member of Music Angels Hands, a non-profit organization, since 2021, and was a Vice President and a Co-president the consecutive year. As a competitive pianist, I have had a phase where the rigor of playing the piano caused myself to lose passion, and build stress from viewing piano as an unconquerable challenge. However, through Music Angels Hands, I have come to realize how powerful music is, and how it can create happiness to many people in my community. By guiding children to interact and learn music through my experiences with playing the piano with “Journey of Self-Discovery with Classical Music” program, I hope to broaden their repertoire and make music feel like their close friend. I am honored to be able to create this new program in Music Angels Hands and am thankful to my parents who have taught me how to learn, feel loved, and be grateful.

My name is Brandon Lim, and I attend Troy High School. I started playing the clarinet in 5th grade at Laguna Road Elementary School. I was in the Honors Band in Parks Junior High in 7th grade and also attended a year at the Orange County School of the Arts in 8th grade, where I played in the Symphonic Band in the Instrumental Music Conservatory. I started with CM level 4 and I am currently preparing for the advanced level (Level 10). Playing the clarinet has undoubtedly brought me joy and a sense of accomplishment. I joined the club in 7th grade and was appointed the position of vice president and I was in charge of the Promotion Outreach department. In my role as vice president I helped to push this club to more people and to bring awareness to our club. When I was promoted to co-president I believe that I now have an ability to have more children learn from our free teaching music program and to nurture them so that they can have a deeper understanding of music and can build valuable life skills. 

My name is Ashley Ahn and I am a sophomore attending Sunny Hills High School. I am currently the vice president of Resource and Data Development in Music Angels Hands, as well as the former vice president of the Accounting Team last year. The Video Team is in charge of doing technical work behind the scenes, including recording members’ performances and creating videos to help our club reach a wider audience. I started learning the piano when I was 6 years old from my parents. From an early age, my fascination for creating such unique sounds continued to grow and led me to take lessons from 4th grade onward. Now, I have completed the advanced course Certificate of Merit Level 9 and am on my way to complete Level 10. Over the past several years, I have also competed and placed in various local competitions, including 3rd in the Satori Summer Music Festival (2021), 4th in the Satori Summer Music Festival (2022), and as a silver medalist in the MTAC Theme Festival (2022). Joining Music Angels Hands in 7th grade was one of the biggest milestones in my music journey. The club allowed me to learn the value of generosity and selflessness, as well as allowed me to continue to pursue my passion in piano. Through our club’s events, such as concerts, we are able to raise money to give back to the community. As vice president, I hope I can utilize my position to strengthen the Music Angels Hands community and continue to practice charity and benevolence.
