About

About me:

I have been playing the piano for 24 years and the viola for 17 years, and have been classically trained in both. Since I was 18th I have participated in many well-known music festivals and masterclasses, and have performed in Taiwan, China, Singapore, Germany, Canada, the Czech Republic, Austria, Korea, and the United States. Currently, I am working on my performance degree in orchestra studies at Indiana University. In addition, I received my Performer’s Diploma in viola performance in 2020, also from IU, and a master’s degree from the New England Conservatory in Boston in 2018.

Born in Taiwan in 1993, I started learning the piano at the age of 3 and later began playing the viola at the age of 10.

Following my studies in Taiwan, I moved to Singapore to pursue my bachelor’s degree at the National University of Singapore/Yong Siew Toh Conservatory. In 2016, I moved to Boston and studied at New England Conservatory, where I earned my master’s degree. I currently just finished my Performer’s Diploma at Indiana University and am pursuing another PD specifically in orchestra studies.

Over the years, I have won several awards and prizes such as the 1st prize at the National Taiwan Music Competition in chamber music categories in 2008, 2009, 2011 and the Artistic Excellence Award from Jacobs School of Music in 2018. In 2017, my string quartet was selected to perform in Jordan Hall for the Borromeo Quartet’s Beethoven Seminar project in Boston. My performances have taken me across the globe, spanning nine countries and three continents.

Orchestrally, I have auditioned for and been accepted for positions with the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra, Owensboro Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Civic Orchestra, and Illinois Symphony Orchestra. My plan is to perform and teach at the same time because I strongly believe that having a teacher who actively performs can better maintain their technique which is a huge benefit for their students.

Lesson Details:

When I teach, I strive to help students learn the most efficient practice methods and to develop a healthy attitude towards learning music. Your progression on the instrument is what will take you to the next step. Either playing solo and chamber and orchestra have the same core values: beautiful tone production, fine intonation, pure rhythm, expressive playing, knowledge of musical styles, acute listening, excellent ensemble skills. If you study with me, I will help you master these concepts and techniques at your own pace and help you find your own musical voice through playing the viola/piano.

I look forward to working with and learning more about my students :)

    Julia is the best instructor we can ever ask for. She is very professional and patient to my daughters. Also, she is very encouraging yet also gets across what she expects from her students. We would recommend her to anyone.
