Judy Wang was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and spent part of her childhood in Costa Rica. She began learning piano at the age of three, with a Russian piano teacher, Luda, who built up the foundation of her music education. At seven, she returned to Taiwan, where she continued her music education. She joined the school ensemble and chorus as an accompanist and attended the Taiwan folk music ensemble, with whom she performed as a keyboard player in the CIOFF Folklore Music Festivals in Portugal, Spain, Belgium, and Poland during 2009-2014. In 2011, Judy got admitted to the graduate school with the highest score in the enrollment audition. During her years in school, she was given many opportunities to attend music performances, including performing chamber music in the Taiwan National Recital Hall. She holds her master's degree in piano performance from Shih Chien University in Taipei. Besides piano, she also likes writing. In addition, she has worked for a classical music magazine, MUZIK, as an editor, and held interviews with numerous great musicians. Judy is a patience and passionate piano teacher who loves to share music with her students. She believes that classical music is the foundation for better music development. However, Learning music should not be a chore to students, they must have the commitment, a desire to learn and maintain their interest in playing music. This will allow student’s learning experience even more enjoyable.

My Teaching Philosophy

I started to teach piano when I was in college, having more than 10 years of teaching experience. My teaching philosophy focuses on building the foundation of a student’s musical ability in different dimensions. I believe that having a good foundation will allow one to play varied kind of music, and makes it easier for them to perceive and appreciate music. Therefore, I always combine technical finger exercises, music theory, and different genres of piano repertoire in lessons for my students to not only learn the surface to play the notes, but also have more understanding with the content to interpret the art of music.
