About the Instructor:
Shih began her piano study at the age of 4 and enrolled at the Dun Hua professional music school after passing their rigorous entrance exam. Two years later, she was awarded First Place in the National Taiwan Youth Piano Competition for consecutive years. Shih then toured to Italy and China to perform on stage. At sixteen, Shih performed the Mendelssohn piano concerto with the Boston Long Wood Symphony Orchestra as competition winner. She received several First Place awards: Boston Walnut Hill Music Camp Piano Concerto Competition, Fort Dodge Youth Concerto Competition, Iowa State University Concerto Competition, National Taiwan Normal University Music Department Competition, and finalist for the National Fort Collins Piano Concerto Competition.

In addition to her competition circuit, Shih performed for the Vice President at the Taiwan Presidential Inauguration banquet. As part of her philanthropic efforts, Shih traveled to Korea and Sri Lanka to participate with the local charity concerts and contributed in building facilities for under-privileged children.

Studying piano under the direction of Dr. Walter Ponce, Dr. Wang Chun-Yi and collaborative-piano under Dr. Jennifer Snow and Prof. Judy Hansen, Shih received the prestigious Mimi Alpert Feldman Scholarship and was awarded as a teaching assistant at UCLA.  She has served part time in the faculty as an accompanist at Santa Monica City College and Colburn School of Music, full time faculty member at Allegro Music Academy providing students high quality instruction together with her positive, constructive motivation.
