About Terry
Terry Hsu, born in Taiwan, earned his bachelor's degree at UCLA with a full scholarship under David Kaplan and guidance from Inna Faliks. During his studies, he earned a Gluck Fellowship and was invited to perform extensively throughout Los Angeles. In recent years, Terry has worked with world-class pianists such as Michelle Cann, Orli Shaham, and Jerome Lowenthal. He has also studied extensively with Norman Krieger and Gabriela Martinez at the Brevard Music Festival of 2023.
Throughout his undergraduate years, Terry was accepted to numerous music festivals such as Vivace Music Festival, Brevard Music Festival, and Mannes Piano Festival. These festivals allowed him to study under artists from top conservatories and universities across the world.
Other highlights include prizewinner in multiple competitions, including PAC SAI Competition, Brevard Music Competition, and UCLA's Rubinyi Piano Competition. With these accolades, he performed at UCLA’s 2022 and 2024 Chancellor’s Recital and was invited to perform a private recital for UCLA's faculty club.
More recently, Terry plans to pursue his Master's degree at UCLA in both Inna Faliks and David Kaplan's studios under a full scholarship. Terry's students have won competitions, performed with international orchestras, and been accepted to top conservatories such as Juilliard, New England Conservatory, and Manhattan School of Music.

-With my help, my students have won competitions, performed with international orchestras, and been accepted to top conservatories such as Juilliard, New England Conservatory, and Manhattan School of Music.
-I always inspire students to explore beyond what is written on the page and promote a sense of self-reflection within the students for personal growth. A teacher is successful when they no longer have to teach.
-I offer music lessons for all levels, however, I mainly focus on intermediate to advance students. Contact me if you are interested in lessons for a beginner and we can work out a solution. Prospective students are welcome to contact me to arrange a free trial lesson.

I had the chance to take some piano lessons with Terry Hsu, and he is an incredibly supportive and goal-oriented teacher. I've been taking lessons with him for a couple months now, and his guidance and piece selection has really helped me improve on my piano technique and musicality. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new piano teacher!!
I had the chance to take some piano classes with Terry, and I honestly couldn't recommend him enough. He's got this amazing, warm energy that makes you feel comfortable, even when I was shy about my playing. Our lessons ended up helping me win my local MTAC competition and improved my playing so much! He's super smart, and has great taste. If you're looking for someone to teach piano, Terry's your person.
Across the past year of working with Terry, he has been an integral part of my piano learning and teaching journey. Not only is he a personable, approachable colleague and friend, but he is also extremely patient and hardworking when it comes to teaching his students. I am certain that anyone looking to begin or continue their piano experience will have a genuinely amazing experience with his guidance.
Terry is one of the most inspiring teachers I’ve had the fortune of learning with! I’ve been working with him for over a year and I love how knowledgeable he is about the pieces I choose. He’s helpful and easy to understand, and I leave every lesson feeling like I’ve learned something new. Strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to study piano!!
