Momo Yaxuan Li started her piano journey from 5 years old. She is an active pianist who is currently pursing the Doctorate degree of Collaborative piano major in University of North Texas. She performs in a wide range of roles, including solo pianist, orchestral pianist, choral pianist, musical/opera pianist, chamber musician, and collaborative pianist. She got her master's degrees in both Piano Performance and Collaborative Piano at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with full scholarship and Graduate Teaching Assistantship. She was involved in teaching undergraduate piano classes, chamber music, and other individual lessons. She won the First Prize at the UL-Lafayette Piano Competition, Honors Convocation and Academic Excellence Awards (GPA 4.0), the Memorial Endowed Graduate Award, First Place at the UL-Lafayette Concerto Competition, and performed the Schumann Piano Concerto with the orchestra as a soloist.
Momo has been teaching both private and class piano lessons for over five years. She is experienced in teaching classical piano and coaching instrumental and vocal students. She believes that learning music should not only focus on method books or repetitive finger exercises. Every student has unique qualities that need to be discovered. She hopes students will find a lasting enjoyment in music, rather than simply playing piano mechanically. She prefers to maintain a warm and engaging approach during lessons while balancing it with rules to ensure effective study.
