About
🎹 Half-price 30-minute trial lesson! Please feel free to reach out! 🎹 Hi! I’m Yi-Chen, a passionate piano teacher with over six years of experience working with students from age four through adulthood. I hold a Master’s degree in Music Scoring from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Composition. I teach piano, music theory, and composition, helping students build strong musical foundations while developing confidence and enjoyment at the keyboard. My teaching covers classical and pop repertoire, music theory, harmony, sight-reading, and aural skills. I have successfully prepared students for ABRSM and MTAC Certificate of Merit examinations, with several students earning State Honors, and I have taught over 40 students of varying levels to date. I also provide coaching for recitals and performances. I am experienced in working with students of diverse learning needs and am known for a patient, warm, and supportive teaching approach, with clear communication with both students and parents. Each lesson is tailored to the student’s goals—whether learning for enjoyment, structured progression, or exam preparation. In addition to teaching, I am an award-winning composer, a recipient of the Apulia Soundtrack Award (2025), with works screened at international film festivals. I also bring professional experience as a music editor for Warner Music Group, which enhances my attention to musical detail, timing, and tone in teaching.

My two boys and I have been taking piano lessons with her, and it has been a wonderful experience. She is very patient, encouraging, and great with kids. My boys enjoy their lessons and have made great progress, and I also really enjoy learning from her as well. We feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful piano teacher. Highly recommend!

Ms. Yi-Chen is incredibly kind and professional. Whenever we’ve needed to reschedule because of what ever reason, she has been very flexible and accommodating when her schedule allows, and always remind us to reach out 24hrs ahead. My child has been with her for two years now, and she continues to improve with Ms Yi-Chen lesson. Additionally she is so patient and wonderful with the kids. We truly appreciate her dedication and the trusting relationship she’s built with my kid. I highly recommend her.

My 8 yr old boy has been taking piano lessons as a beginner from Yi-Chen since Sept. She has been patient, kind, and keeping my son attentive during the lessons. We look forward to continuing and improving with Yi-Chen.
