Get to know the teacher

“I have the best job in the world – being a pianist and a piano teacher. Nothing is more satisfying than feeling deeply immersed in the beauty of making music and seeing the twinkle and delight in students’ eyes.”  

–  Karen Lien, NCTM

Karen Lien, passionate and caring piano teacher, collaborative pianist, blogger and author of Piano Playground, fascinated with music theory and history, best known for her creative teaching approach, owner of You LOVE Piano studio in San Antonio, TX and active member of MTNA, NFMC, AES.   
 
What she loves most about teaching is the Magic Moments that happens almost everyday:
  • when a student finds the courage to push through nerves and achieve something wonderful
  • when a student suddenly has the light-bulb “A-ha!” moment
  • when a student chooses to say “I can do it” instead of “This is hard”
  • when a student enjoys discovering and not afraid of making mistakes (At You LOVE Piano, we believe that mistake is a perfect chance for discovery)
Seeing students and people around her succeed makes her happy.
 
In between teaching and dreaming up lesson ideas, she enjoys making up stories and silly songs on piano, singing with her not-so-perfect voice, baking sweets, doing Yoga, and spending time with her husband, daughter and son.
