Emily Li - Piano lessons in Cary

My name is Emily Li, and I am a dedicated piano teacher and online music tutor passionate about helping students discover both the joy of music and the discipline that turns practice into artistry. I have a thorough musical education, having studied at York University, Heritage Career College, and through online programs with renowned institutions such as Berklee College of Music and the Curtis Institute of Music. My growth as a musician has also been shaped by world-class piano teachers including Teresa Wang, Victor Tung, Dr. Josh Wright, Dr. Christina P. Quilico, Steve Koven, Professor Casey Sokol, and Wayne Zheng, whose influence has deepened my expertise in both performance and pedagogy. I am a multi-instrumentalist and experienced piano teacher, and I’ve also authored a piano book to make learning accessible, structured, and inspiring. My lessons balance strong foundations in technique (posture, fingering, tone, agility) with the broader skills that bring music to life—sight-reading, rhythm, ear training, improvisation, theory, and expressive playing. I adapt repertoire to each student’s goals, whether that means mastering classical works, exploring pop and film scores, or playing worship and contemporary music. Students and parents describe my teaching as encouraging, structured, and inspiring—helping beginners gain confidence, guiding adults back into music, and preparing advancing students for exams, auditions, and recitals. With me, you will learn not only how to play the piano but also how to express yourself fully through music. If you’re ready to take your piano playing to the next level, I would be honored to guide your journey. Let’s make music together!

Piano lessons with Jiang in Carpenter feels exciting and less challenging. she knows just when to push me to try harder and when to support me and encourage me when I need it the most.

I didn’t think I’d enjoy starting piano lessons again as an adult, but Oluwatosin in Lochmere made sure I felt comfortable and confident in every lesson. I have seen myself progress in just 10 weeks of lessons with Onxy and I've never been this confident with music before.
