Specially in music performance, music education and arts achievements:

Clara Tu, Born and raised in Connecticut, Clara is a multi-instrumental (piano, oboe, violin, flute, organ, and ukulele, erhu) musician and music educator. She founded © Piano Village Foundation and co-founded ©Music Theory Express. She is currently studying at Phillips Academy Andover (2021). Due to her growing accomplishments in music at such a young age—having won numerous international piano competitions and performing multiple times on stages like Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Beijing Concert Hall, Madison Square Garden at NBA Half Time—she has been featured in renowned news platforms like the NBC Today Show, Fox News Connecticut, World Journal and other major media and publications. Beginning her training as a classical pianist, she later expanded her skills to practice in variety of styles like jazz, playing in chamber music and vocal accompaniment, and learning conducting during her studies at Precollege of Manhattan School of Music as a Piano Major. Since then, Clara is now one of the youngest students to earn the Associate of The Royal Conservatory (ARCT) Artist Diploma in Piano Pedagogy Elementary and Intermediate Level with a National Gold Medal and ARCT in Piano Performance at age 14.

Having played piano since she was 3, music is a powerful part of her life. As she states, “To me, music is an art—lyrical, harmonic, melodic, rhythmic, something that lasts throughout time. As something that can be understood between cultures, music is a connection from my heart to the world and my body is the form of communication between the two.” In addition to music, she invests her time into various other activities like art, earning the Connecticut Scholastic Art and Writing Award Gold Key in 2017. Her creativity allows an intensive and diversified learning experience. Understanding this valuable experience, she co-authored the CLEF Piano Method Textbook series and other music theory works to provide an easy and effective learning way for students to follow and learn, learning more with less time.
