Orange County Piano Teacher Prepares Local Students For Competitions

Sending children to piano lessons has been a classic parenting tactic for generations. Even today, it is encouraged to provide piano lessons to a bright, young mind. Learning music benefits youngsters and the lessons they learn through piano practice is used later in life. Developing the discipline to learn and practice music gives children confidence, and builds emotional and social realization. Doris Chiang, an Orange County Piano teacher, is very aware of these benefits and even pushes them to a higher level.

Some of her many awards include winning the Bach Festival, both branch and regional; the Southwestern Youth Music Festival and the Music Associate Award at California State University, Fullerton. Mrs. Chiang also received high academic honors when she graduated with a Doctoral of Musical Arts in the University of Southern California.
