About Karen


Bio

After relocating from Taiwan to the United States to pursue advanced music studies, I established full-time private teaching studios in both Los Angeles and the Washington, D.C. area. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of students, guiding many toward top scores on performance exams, competition wins, and successful admissions to university music programs.

After relocating from Taiwan to the United States to pursue advanced music studies, I established full-time private teaching studios in both Los Angeles and the Washington, D.C. area. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of students, guiding many toward top scores on performance exams, competition wins, and successful admissions to university music programs.

As a former competition-winning pianist myself, I bring both discipline and insight to each lesson, tailoring instruction to support each student’s individual goals. Whether preparing for conservatory auditions or learning for personal enrichment, I aim to help students grow with clarity, confidence, and joy at the piano.

I approach teaching with professionalism, care, and the belief that music education builds not only musicians—but lifelong learners prepared to meet challenges with focus and resilience.

Piano

I am Karen W. With over 25 years of teaching and performance experience and a Master’s degree in Piano Performance from California State University, Northridge, I offer a focused and supportive environment tailored to each student’s goals and learning style. Lessons emphasize strong technique, musical expression, and fluency in sight-reading and theory. Instruction is designed to be both comprehensive and efficient—helping students make meaningful, accelerated progress without sacrificing depth or artistry. Guidance is personalized for each student’s path—whether preparing for Certificate of Merit, ABRSM exams, competitions, college music auditions, or learning a meaningful piece for a special occasion. I work with students of all ages and levels, with an emphasis on steady progress, artistic growth, and confidence at the piano. Instruction is both rigorous and encouraging, helping each student reach their full potential at a pace that respects their time and commitment. Studio availability is limited in order to provide high-quality, individualized instruction.
