ABOUT ANDREW 
Andrew Miao is a young piano player whose love for music shines through every performance. From a very early age, he discovered a strong interest in the piano and has been gradually building his skills as a performer. Under the guidance of his early teacher, Mr. Yong Cheong Lye, and his current mentor, Dr. Debra Andreacchio, Andrew has developed solid technical skills and a thoughtful approach to interpretation. He has received recognition in competitions such as the Adelaide Eisteddfod and has been invited to perform in events at the Elder Conservatorium.

For him, music is a meaningful part of his life – one that continues to nurture his growth and bring joy to those around him.
