LP Piano Studio
About
As an active concert pianist, I enjoy performing solo and chamber music on the stage. As a teacher, I would like to bring this performance element into the lesson and inspire my students to be confident, creative, and full of characters.
I found it rewarding to see my students succeed. I'm that type of teacher who looks for progress in education. I don't mind playing games and having short breaks in the lesson, but I'd like to focus on all the possible things that I can teach to the students in the lesson.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Assessment: sight-reading skills, finger independence, ear training, theory background, learning speed, attention span, etc
Consultation: making sure that we have the same goal and outcome for the lesson.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
2022- Indiana University for a performer diploma and would like to continue there for a DM (Doctor in Music). I had a strong audition there, and they offered me the artist excellence award in addition to the graduate teaching assistantship. I can't wait to learn more as a student and polish my teaching as a teacher and music coach there.
2021- Masters degree at University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I was one of the four outstanding Master graduate in the whole Graduate School. I've got a 4.0 GPA, and have given solo and chamber recitals every semester. I taught group piano classes to undergraduate students as a teacher of record using multimedia curriculum. I also coached students (teach them how to "perform") in their student recitals. I've played in most of our faculty recitals. I had given solo and chamber recitals in every semester. I enjoyed teaching, coaching, and performing during my time there.
Masters degree at Illinois State University. Taught undergraduate group piano classes as a teacher of record, also taught in our lab school (Thomas Metcalf Elementary School). In addition, I taught in a music studio in Peoria, IL. In addition, I took three semesters of classes in Music Therapy, and had served in the nursing homes, elementary schools, and clinics as a student music therapist. The populations that I had served includes older adults, adults with ID/DD (intellectual disabilities/developmental disabilities), and young kids (early interventions).
Bachelors degree at University of Taipei (in a country called Taiwan). Before it changed its name, it was called Taipei Municipal University of Education. I took some classes in teaching methods and music therapy. I found it really useful for my career as a musician.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I am an active performer. The recent events that I participated were all recitals and concerts. I really enjoy making memories shining on the stage.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I think it's very important to set the goal and talk through all the rules/policies before starting with any teachers.
Setting the goal can help the students from feeling burnt out or not learning anything. It also helps the teacher know how much they should give to their students.
Rules and policies will include how you pay your tuition, how many absences can you make, etc.
