Hyeyoung Ku is in her third year working with the Midway Choirs and second year as the Assistant Choir Director at Midway Middle School.
Hyeyoung is a 2020 graduate of the University of Texas at Austin receiving her Bachelor of Music in Choral Music Education with honors. She started her vocal studies at age 9 as she passed the audition for the Korean Academy Children's Choir (KACC) with the recommendation of her classroom teacher. While she was in KACC, she had wonderful opportunities to travel worldwide to perform, record many Korean TV commercial songs, and even appear on TV shows. These unforgettable memories grew her love and passion for music, and Hyeyoung's love of choir life continued as she moved to the United States at age 14.
Hyeyoung is passionate about teaching music. She believes that as a director, it is essential to provide a classroom where students feel comfortable and safe to communicate with one another and express their thoughts. She also strongly believes in encouraging her students to become the best they can be in a healthy and productive learning environment.
In addition to teaching, Hyeyoung loves eating good food and travels with her husband and family, and she has a precious pet kitty named "Star."
