Yi-Chung Chen has studied under Bi-xian Chen, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, and Anatol Ugorski.

​

Yi-Chung's touch is soft, with a keen sensitivity to tone color, perseverance, and delicacy. Her music is rational yet filled with poetry. During her studies in Germany, she frequently premiered new works by composers, resulting in a broad repertoire that spans from the Baroque to contemporary music. She emphasizes score reading, establishing a stable and clear context through structural analysis, phrasing, fingering, dynamics, touch indications, and pedaling, while continuously researching and learning between the style of the works and her personal interpretation.

​

Yi-Chung excels in observation and listening, demonstrating understanding and patience. She aims to assist both beginners and advanced students in re-establishing their foundations and consciously connecting their fingers with bodily strength through her own experiences. She encourages everyone’s unique creativity, practicing the ideal and beautiful sound from within.
