Co-founder of Da Capo Music School.

Specializes in teaching beginners, and group lessons.

While studying music in the US, Amanda was constantly moved by the love of music shown by her instructors. Having played piano since the age of 5 and having won and passed various competitions and examinations in Taiwan, she is familiar with the “Asian Sparta Style training”. However, after moving to the states in 2007, Amanda realized the most effective musical training is simply the enjoyment of music.

While pursuing her Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance, Amanda was fascinated by world music which she later received the Michael Segrove Avalos Award by competing in the competition for Hispanic music.

Shortly after she received her Master's degree in Piano Performance in 2016, Amanda has decided to expand her teaching approach by incorporating the Suzuki Method.

In 2017, Amanda served as a lecturer to teach basic piano courses back at San Francisco State University and she has gained an invaluable amount of experience and joy through teaching piano in a classroom setting to college students.

Being a local musician in California, Amanda is familiar with various examinations such as Certificate of Merit and ABRSM. She has been a member of the Music Teacher’s Association of California since 2012. During 2019-2020, she was appointed as the chair of the San Francisco Branch and is currently serves as the Vice President of the San Mateo Branch.

Amanda believes positive energy and encouragement are the keys to success and she uses each and every lesson to unlock the endless possibilities for her students.
