Your Piano Teacher: Expertise & Approach
Dr. Archie Chen is a sought-after piano teacher whose studio draws students from across the Pacific Northwest and online. Holding advanced degrees from the Royal College of Music and the Royal Irish Academy of Music, he combines the rigour of the European conservatory tradition with a genuine understanding of each student’s individual goals. As a piano teacher, Dr. Chen structures every lesson to build real musicianship — not just technical facility — equipping students to perform with confidence and interpretive depth. He is affiliated with the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) and regularly engages in professional development to stay current with best practices in piano pedagogy.
Working with a piano teacher at Dr. Chen’s level means access to repertoire guidance that extends well beyond standard lesson books. Students learn to read scores critically, develop healthy technique rooted in natural arm weight and forearm rotation, and understand the historical context of the music they perform. Whether preparing for ABRSM examinations, conservatory auditions, or a community recital, students leave their study with Dr. Chen better equipped to achieve their musical goals with lasting confidence.
As a piano teacher committed to lifelong musical development, Dr. Chen tailors each programme to the student’s age, ability, and ambitions. Lessons are available weekly as 45-, 60-, or 90-minute sessions, and online students receive the same individualised attention as those studying in-person in Spokane. Students from beginner through advanced level are warmly welcomed into the studio. Trial lessons are available for new students wishing to experience Dr. Chen’s teaching approach before making a longer commitment.
