Yoojung Chung, a native of South Korea, began her music education at age of four with piano lessons.  She started accompanying church choirs at the age of thirteen and taking organ lessons from Dr. Dong-Lim Min, a distinguished concert organist throughout South Korea and Germany.

She earned a Bachelor of Music degree in Organ Performance and Church Music at Yonsei University under Professor Myung-Ja Cho, and Master of Music in Organ Performance and Church Music at Northwestern University under Professor Douglas Cleveland, and was awarded the Kenneth G. and Helen C.
