Dr. Yuking Chou Brandenburgh Piano Studio
About
Having been raised in Asia and educated in Vienna, Austria, and having earned my doctorate at the University of Cincinnati, I bring a global perspective to the interpretation of classical and popular piano music.
I have taught private lessons and master classes in Asia, Europe, and America, and this wide range of styles and cultures has enabled me to develop a comprehensive teaching method.
I have successfully prepared students for competitions and university entrance auditions on three continents. Several of my students have won awards and have been invited to perform at Carnegie Hall NYC. My experience is your advantage!
I am a people person. I get along well with students of any age, and any level. I enjoy walking with my students through their piano journey. Seeing them respond positively to my enthusiasm is my greatest joy.
