Learn from Great Classical Piano Teachers

Dr. Yee-Sik Wong Yee Sik, a native of Hong Kong, China, began accompanying ballet classes in 2007 while she was pursuing her D.M.A. in Piano Performance and Pedagogy at the University of Iowa. Since then, she has played for the Tulsa Ballet and the Kansas City Ballet for 15 seasons.

I believe piano study is more than technique—it is a meaningful journey of expression, creativity, and personal growth. Every student learns differently, so I tailor each lesson to individual goals, learning styles, and musical interests.

I am a master teacher focusing on the classical repertoire along with the very strong approache to improvisation. I am really helping each single student to achieve their interests in music rather than focusing on teaching one particular method.

As a dedicated music teacher, I strive to guide each student on a meaningful and inspiring musical journey. My lessons are designed to help you set and achieve both short- and long-term goals, building a strong foundation while encouraging steady progress.

Hi, I’m Taryna! Music has been part of my life since I was a child — I started playing guitar when I was 8 years old, and it quickly became one of my favorite ways to express creativity.
