Introduction: I received BA in music education from National Taiwan Normal University and MA in music composition from Carnegie Mellon University. I am a certified Dalcroze music educator, a piano faculty at Suffolk County Community College since 2008 and a music director at Faith Bible Church in Flushing, NY. Online lessons are available for students from around the globe via zoom. I have over 28 years of teaching experience in both group and private lesson settings with students from age of 4 to 80. My teaching experience includes piano, music theory, aural skills, choral conducting and music arranging and composition. I am a native Taiwanese, therefore I can teach either in English or Mandarin. I perform and compose music in large variety spanning over from classical, children's musical to gospel and worship genres. I am able to teach both Jazz chord reading as well as rigorous classical discipline according to each student's personal goal for piano learning. My knowledge allows my students to grasp theory and finger techniques effectively and efficiently. I train students for recitals, NYSSMA, ABRSM Royal Music Exam, music school auditions, church worship services, recording sessions and competitions. My coaching includes practice strategy, finger techniques, aural training, music theory, physical coordination, music improv, stage presentation, team rehearsal and problem solving. Many of my students found themselves equipped with crucial life skills through the vehicle of music. Over the years, I have the privilege of being part of growing progress of many budding musicians, some of them have entered music industry or music education today. I enjoy drawing hidden potential of each individual. My piano lesson is never limited to note reading and finger techniques. I equip my students with multiple disciplines that result in joyful music making and integrated musicianship.

Julie is a great piano teacher. My son loves her. She is always patient with my child even at times when he is playing very poorly. I can not say enough more good things about Julie. She is just the kind of teacher that I can count on to teach my child the right way.

Having Julie Li as a teacher is a wonderful and magnificent experience that I would not trade for anything in the world. I actively look foward to our lessons and time together because she not only makes learning any aspect of the piano and music fun, she also makes it extremely clear and very detailed. Her ability to turn some of the most advanced principles of piano technique into a simple and comprehensive lesson is astonishing and invaluable to anyone. What is even more astonishing is how she can do this while retaining the core of these principles, making something not so simple, extremely simple to understand. She has an ability to seemlessly introduce new musical ideas into any piece of music, and push her students to bring out their inner artist and unlock their true potential. She goes above and beyond to make sure I am always well and have everything I need to continue progessing in my craft. It is without any doubt that she truly cares about her students. I am always happy to be with my amazing teacherJulie Li!

My daughter has been taking piano lesson with Ms. Julie for a year and half. Besides professionalism, Ms. Julie’s strength is customizing the class for students with different needs. No matter you are a toddler who still have the difficulties of telling the left and right hand apart, or you are an adult who wants to pick up the piano skill again, she knows how to cope with you. Ms. Julie’s students varies from 4 years old to 60+. Even though She moved to a new house about two years ago, some of her students are still willing to drive extra miles to take the lesson with her. Ms. Julie keeps perfect balance of encouragement and discipline when she teaches. I highly recommend to take lesson with her!
