\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With 20 years of teaching and performance experience, Mia Chien has developed her unique teaching philosophy. Music is a multidimensional discipline: it’s more than a technical skill; long-lasting relationship with music must stem from enjoyment and appreciation. Instead of playing just loud and fast, Mia Chien believes great music is about finesse and balance. Furthermore, setting goals provides the motivation for students to excel. Therefore, students are required to give recitals twice a year and encouraged to participate in CM or ABRSM certification programs as well as local competitions.<\/p>\n

At MIA MUSICA, we build strong music fundamentals, we promote excellence through encouragement and positive reinforcement, and we make music fun, creative and inspiring!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
