About

Accepted by Pennsylvania State University Doctoral degree program in piano performance with TA and full scholarships. I graduated from Manhattan School of music with master degree in piano performance with half scholarship. My professor is Alexandre Moutouzkine who is the chair of the piano department. Bachelor degree in Piano performance at San Francisco conservatory of music. I studied with Corey McVicar. Before that I attended middle school and high school of Conservatory in China to study piano performance.

I started to teach piano students in High school and started to teach music theory lessons when I was in college. I have been teaching for 6 years in the US. Taught about 20 students between 5 to 40 years old. My goal in teaching is making students love and enjoy learning and practicing. Always respect the students opinions and taking care about students’ feelings. If students need me to be very strict, I can do my best to push you learn harder and harder and find the best fit piece for you. If students prefer learning just for fun, I prefer to give the students the pieces that they interested in. My preferred composers: Mendelssohn, Bach, Clementi, Mozart, Haydn, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Debussy, Bartok.

As a concert pianist, I held piano recitals in China in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Weihai, in Europe and in the US in San Francisco and NYC. Performed with orchestra in Europe and in the US.

    Ji C.

    She is very professional piano teacher and pianist and the studying experience was amazing. I studied the piano for a while, but then I did not practice for a long time and after that I met Silvia. My goal is performing 4 or 5 pieces well.
    First, she gave me S. Bach prelude No.1 to check my level. Then she gave me a list of pieces to pick. I choose a Bach minuet in G Major, Czerny 599 etudes No.45 and No.1 and Mozart piano sonata in C major. Every piece she gave my several lessons to make sure I perform in a right way and also she taught me how to analyze the music and understand the music, such as the structure of a piece and the meaning of changes of harmony.
    ex. she played really well!!! I recorded many of her performances!
