Renown especially for her expertise in virtual teaching, she continues to share her love of music with people of all ages and levels, and considers pedagogy to be vital for continuing traditions, community outreach, and individual growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among her many awards and prizes, Alison has performed at Carnegie Hall as winner of the Eastman Piano Competition. She has garnered top prizes in competitions like the Lewisville International, the Wideman International, the Seattle Piano Competition, Thousands Islands International, and the Kosciuszko Foundation Chopin Piano Competition, and has also appeared as a concerto soloist with the Lakeside Symphony, the Cleveland Woman\u2019s Orchestra, the Piano Symphony, the Lewisville Lake Symphony, and the Shreveport Symphony. Alison was one of the few recipients to receive the Cobos Piano Prize \u2013 not once but twice \u2013 during her studies at the Eastman School of Music, awarded to those with exceptional achievement in the study and performance of piano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She owes her musical development to her extraordinary teachers, Natalya Antonova and Nelita True at Eastman, Pamela Mia Paul at University of North Texas, and Olga Radosavljevich at the Cleveland Institute of Music. In addition to piano and teaching, she enjoys making music and cat videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Education Credentials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DMA, Eastman School of Music<br>MM, Eastman School of Music<br>BM, Eastman School of Music<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introduction and Performance Videos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ECMS World Campus - Meet the Teacher: Alison Chiang\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UK6_CmcXELg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chopin Preludes, Op. 28 - Nos. 1, 3, 6, and 8\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BG64z5GLnOU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Prokofiev Sonata No. 8 in B-flat Major - Mvt III\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O6-nVqlWbLk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testimonials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\"><em>\u201cLearning from Alison is a pleasure; she perfectly balances challenge and fun to ensure you\u2019re always playing your best and always enjoying it.\u201d<\/em> <strong>\u2013 Matthew<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\"><em>\u201cWhen I began taking piano lessons with Alison, I had some piano experience but I\u2019ve grown the most as a pianist with her.
