About

My name is Tracy Qian. I hold a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in piano performance from the Ohio State University. As a member of the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) and The American Liszt Society, I am a passionate educator.

Having teaching experiences over 12 years, I held a private piano studio for over 20 students in Columbus, Ohio, and had two annual recitals for 5 years. I offer quality, personalized piano instruction and music theory to students ranging from beginners to pre-college levels. My teaching covers a wide range of musical styles, including classical, spiritual, pop, folk, musical theater, jazz, and improvisation. I customize arrangements to match each student’s interests and skill level. Students at my studio have free access to all of my arrangements.

I accept students from beginners to pre-college level students. Nothing is more thrilling than seeing how music has different chemistry with different students! I am so excited to help students establish their own judgments, tastes, motivations, and teach them how to play the music by relating it to their own world! My work is not to normalize each individual. Seeing students develop their own personalities and interpretations of music is the most amazing part of my job! More lesson details, please check out

    My son Daniel started to take piano lessons from Tracy about 5 months ago. She is very professional and nice. She encouraged Daniel to perform his own composition thunders at one of the studio recitals. We all like her very much.

    Frequently asked questions

    I normally start with understanding students' needs, expectations, and goals. Instead of requiring students to follow the instructions, I will always bring out the passion and interest the students already have, to motivate and inspire them to love and enjoy the music. 

    Communications are the key throughout the teaching.

    I hold a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in piano performance from The Ohio State University.

    I offer 30min, 45min, and 60min lessons for students to meet their different needs.

    I received higher education both in China and the United States. I know the advantages and disadvantages of both education systems. As an educator with both educational backgrounds, I feel the responsibility to bring educational diversity to students no matter where they are from. I can filter out the disadvantages of both educational systems.

    My students range from beginners to college students majoring in piano performance. My student's ages range from 4 years old to 70 years old. 

    My studio just gave a Spring Recital at a nursing home in June.

    Find a professional teacher. There are too many piano 'teachers' started to teach when they only have a little amateur experience. That is irresponsible for students. 

    Why do they want to learn the piano? In order to get to their goals, are they willing to commit to the time and efforts?
