Music connect our hearts
About me
My love for music began at the age of three when my aunt gave me a toy piano for my birthday. Growing up in a family that enjoyed music, we often had karaoke nights during special occasions. These moments brought joy and became some of my fondest memories.
As I grew older, my passion for playing the piano became a way to connect with my friends. I started playing for them, using music to encourage and motivate. They would often request their favorite songs, and we would gather around the piano, singing and making music during lunch breaks and free time. These informal jam sessions became a cherished part of our routine, filled with laughter and camaraderie. Whether it was a pop song to lift someone's spirits or a classical piece to calm our minds before exams, music was our go-to source of comfort and fun.
Inspired by these experiences, I decided to become a piano teacher. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Piano Performance from National Taiwan University and my Master's degree in Music Education from Penn State University.
Now, I share my passion with my students, helping them to cultivate their love for piano and nurturing their musical talents. Through personalized lessons, I aim to ignite their artistic potential and inspire a lifelong love of music. In addition to teaching, I also enjoy playing and collaborating with various instrumentalist. These experiences continue to fuel my love for music and provide valuable insights that I bring back to my students. My ultimate goal is to bring joy to others through the transformative power of music.
Testimonial
“My daughter and I have been taking piano lessons with Isabelle for over two years and we could not be more happy. Isabelle is a true professional in every sense (as a musician and a teacher).
Not only does she know how to motivate her students with the right choice of music, she also professes a deep understanding of each student's individual musical needs at any particular given time. Anyone who has raised a child with music lessons knows that children go through ups and downs. Isabelle knows how to gear her lessons so the child stays motivated and keeps learning.
As an adult student, I appreciate her patience and encouragement, her expert understanding of music theory and her occasional group lessons to bring together adult students of all levels.
Isabelle is also creative and encouraged my daughter and myself to try duet playing, which was a lot of fun!
I warmly recommend Isabelle to anyone who has an interest in taking piano lessons! She is simply wonderful..”

“My 15yr old son started piano a few years ago with Isabelle. He has grown tremendously due to Isabelle's love of music. She helps him select beautiful pieces and allowed him to grow at his own pace, while ensuring proper technique. I have been extremely satisfied with the instruction that Isabelle provides. She has a gentle nature and is a pleasure to work with..”

“Isabelle has taught my 9 year old daughter for 2 years, and she motivates my daughter to practice everyday (without my nagging, to my great relief).
She's encouraging, patient and kind. Isabelle also focuses on having good posture so my daughter is starting off in a great place. As an experienced piano player myself, I am confident in Isabelle's techniques and skills..”
