Piano Lessons

Daniel Tong is currently a 2nd year Master of Piano Performance student at the University of British Columbia, studying with Prof. Mark Anderson as his primary mentor, and Prof. Rena Sharon for chamber music studies. A near life-long resident of Vancouver, he also received his Bachelor of Music degree from the University of British Columbia, and is musically active in the community, especially in the North Shore where he resides, providing music for local community groups, as well as engaging with other musicians as a collaborative pianist.

An active participant in festivals and competitions, Daniel has received finalist standings at competitions in the past, for the UBC Silverman Piano Competition in 2020, as well as the Canadian Music Competition and BC Performing Arts Festival. As an avid enthusiast of chamber music, he has also travelled to chamber music festival programs - most recently to Scotia Festival of Music in Halifax this past summer, where he performed in the finale student showcase concert, as well as Domaine Forget de Charlevoix in Quebec in 2021, performing for their summer student-concert series. Master-classes at which Daniel has performed for include nationally and internationally-renowned artists Philip Chiu, Andrew Armstrong, and Filippo Gorini.

Daniel is passionate about sharing the gift of music through piano and hopes to encourage and inspire both curiosity and a life-long love of music in his students.
