Yao Lu Piano Studio

Introduction: Professional background~Teaching since 2006~Yao Lu, pianist, has performed solo recitals and collaborative piano recitals in China and United States. She finished her artist diploma at Cleveland Institute of Music and master degree in Piano performance at University of North Texas and University of Akron. She is a visiting professor at Chuzhou University in China and adjunct faculty at Malone University. She worked for Opera workshops and Cleveland Opera theater as a pianist. She worked as a staff pianist and teacher at The University of Akron and Kent State University and a faculty at Aurora School of Music, Avon School of Music and Celebrity School of Music. She was the winner of the Marjorie Neville Collaborative Piano Award competition at 2016. Her awards include being given a full graduate teaching assistantship and Outstanding Graduate Student in Piano award from the University of Akron. She was also inducted into the honorary society of Pi Kappa Lambda and was a recipient of a scholarship for The SongFest Music Festival. I enjoy teaching students of all ages and levels and strive to provide the best possible music education at the piano for every student. This is accomplished by providing interesting work at the piano in the realms of learning pieces, technique, sight reading, and ear training. Music study is a great way to build discipline, which is a basic building block for success in life. The study of beautiful music is enjoyable, and I hope each of my students will find a joy in music study that will last for their entire life.
