Mr. Song’s first compact disc recording of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition and Rachmaninoff’s Variations on a Theme of Corelli released under the Canadian label XXI-21, was one of the bestsellers in Canada and reached the Gazette's 2006 Top 20 Albums of the Year. His subsequent CD, 'Clair de Lune' from the 'Les Grands Classiques d'Edgar' box set was also a major success, with over 20 000 copies sold throughout North America. Mr. Song's other CD releases include Beethoven's Early Piano Sonatas, and Poulenc's L'histoire De Babar & Debussy's La Boite à Joujoux  in collaboration with renowned narrator Mr. Edgar Fruitier.  

Teaching is a significant facet of Mr. Song's career as he dedicates himself in mentoring the next generation of young pianists. His students have won numerous scholarships and prizes in major competitions throughout North America. As associate director and director of artists-in-residence of Lambda School of Music and Fine Arts, Mr. Song frequently gives masterclasses and workshops with the hope of inspiring young artists through innovative pedagogical approaches.
