The Piano Studio Of Xiaobo Chen
About
I have played, performed and taught the piano for well over a decade. I have in turn, had the good fortune of encountering a wide variety of clients who taught me the definition of ‘talent’. Whatever the sparkles, large or tiny, which are shining and which are always to be seen and heard. I also had the tremendous fortune of witnessing the joy of music making redefined. I shall bring the knowledge, the memory and the humility of my 19 years tenure of teaching to you, to walk down the path of discovering music and yourself together, of whatever gratification it means to you to sit in front of the piano, whether to soar in competitions or festivals, or to play, and play, and play, for yourself, and your loved ones.
A Pianist, Chamberlist, as well as a dedicated music educator and adjudicator in the Denton/Dallas area since 2000.
As a collaborative artist, Xiaobo worked and performed extensively with the students and faculty members from the UNT Woodwind Division. She traveled nationally and internationally with the UNT Saxophone Professor, Eric Nestler, Michigan saxophone virtuoso, Joe Luloff , the saxophone luminary, the late
Dr. Thomas Liley, and performed works which were world and North America premieres with composers from Sweden and United States in attendance. Internationally, the Nestler-Chen Duo traveled and performed in Thailand, Scotland, China, and France. Xiaobo’ countless chamber music performances with the UNT faculty and students are catalogued at the UNT Library. Her chamber music and solo playing can be found on Youtube at https://youtu.be/ 1T8r53ji_aQ,https:// youtu.be/
