About
Dear Student/Parent,
My name is Min Liu, and I am a professional musician and piano educator with both bachelor's and master's degrees in music education, earned from conservatories in China and Germany. I also enhanced my musical studies through the C.M.S. Program at The Juilliard School in New York City.
With over 15 years of piano teaching experience, I have taught students from ages 3 to 72, across various backgrounds and skill levels. I specialize in identifying each student’s unique learning style and tailoring lessons to help them reach their full potential—whether they’re beginners or preparing for advanced auditions.
Since relocating to the New York City area, I’m excited to offer high-quality lessons while I build my presence in the community. Lessons can be taught in both English and Chinese.
My teaching experience includes preparation for:
ABRSM and NYSSMA examinations
Middle school, high school, and pre-college auditions
College conservatory entrance exams
Adult learners interested in building foundational or professional-level piano skills
I’ve received multiple national awards in piano performance, including:
Xinghai Cup National Piano Competition
New Artist National Piano Competition
Shaanxi Province Young Pianist Performance Competition, among others.
As a performer, I’ve had the privilege of giving piano concerts in China, Germany, the U.S., Korea, Brazil, Japan, and Switzerland.
If you or your child are looking for a warm, professional, and highly experienced piano teacher, I would love to connect. Trial lessons are available.
Warm regards,
Min Liu
Piano Educator & Performer
