Faculty

Pianist, conductor, and educator Yue Bao brings a broad musical perspective shaped by her training in piano, opera accompanying, and orchestral conducting.

A graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and the Mannes School of Music, she brings experience as both a collaborative pianist and conductor to her work with students.

As a piano teacher, Bao encourages students to develop strong technical foundations while cultivating musical imagination, careful listening, and confidence in their own artistic voice. Drawing on her experience as a pianist, conductor, she helps students understand the piano not only as a solo instrument but as a gateway to harmony, orchestral color, storytelling, and collaborative music-making.

As a musician, Bao has worked with internationally recognized artists including Lang Lang, Hélène Grimaud, Jan Vogler, Vadim Gluzman, Bomsori Kim, Pablo Ferrández… Her experience in both instrumental and operatic repertoire has shaped a collaborative and expressive approach to music-making.

She welcomes students at different stages of their musical development and strives to create lessons that are rigorous, encouraging, and responsive to each student’s individual goals
