Meet Diana - Piano Teacher

Diana Huang is currently majoring in Piano Performance and Education Science at UCI, studying with Lorna Griffitt. She was born in China and came to the United States with her family when she was in 7th grade, so she is fluent in both Chinese and English. Diana started learning piano since 5 years old, in her pathway of music, she has been honored with many awards, and participate the concert and master classes with the finest pianist, such as participating in the "Lang Lang 2012 New Year Concert with One Hundred Child PIanists", won the first prize in the "Qin Jing Lin" First Piano Competition in 2014, and get Golden Award in "Grand Metropolitan International Music Competition" in 2022. Diana Huang also plays the violin, she participated in UCI Symphonic Orchestra as the second chair of the second violin.

Diana started teaching piano in 2019, she knows how to build and maintain students' attention and interest in playing piano. She is teaching more than what is just written in the book, she will work with children to build musicality and creativity. Diana is focused on building a solid foundation for students to reach the top instead of lifting them to the level where students will get "submerged" and hard to reach that lose interest in playing music. She has her tempo for teaching and will change the level based on the student’s comprehension, practice lengths, and piano skills. One of Diana's students got an unbelievable score in her ABRSM exam, which is 147 out of 150 points, 2 pieces are fully scored.

She believes a good foundation can let students be more likely to keep their interest and continue to enjoy the music. Diana also believes none of her students are the same. Hence, she will choose different teaching materials and repertoires for different students. She will communicate a lot with students, to know their personalities to choose the repertories that are suitable for individual students. Therefore, her class is a fun class in that students can learn and play (small music games) at the same time.
