violinist & educator

With over seven years of teaching experience, Dr. Liu has been on faculty at various schools in New York, Massachusetts, and Hawaii, and has held successful teaching studios. Her students have received excellent markings in state festivals. Having received a “Concentration in Music-in-Education” from the New England Conservatory, Dr. Liu is centered on more innovative approaches to teaching that stems from research-based music integration projects, in which its analysis has led to a newer understanding on how students learn. Students of all ages are welcome to inquire about lessons.

Thanks for visiting. I am currently located in Honolulu, Hawaii where I teach and perform with various groups and ensembles as a professional freelancer. As a teacher, I am dedicated to developing the artistic lives of each individual by planting the seed of wonder and a love for problem-solving in every mind, and encouraging a positive outlook both in the practice room and in all areas of life.
