Meet Our Judge:
Dr. Cindy Tseng

A southern California native, Cindy Tseng is assistant professor of Music at Los Angeles Harbor College. Her teaching approach is structured such that anyone can learn music in ways that is meaningful and fulfilling to them. She identifies each persons’ musical strengths while respecting their learning styles based on their prior musical knowledge and cultural background. In a supportive class environment filled with opportunities and relevant feedback, students participate in class activities and assignments through a growth mindset. The music learning experience can be transformative as it gives people a chance to learn more deeply about themselves and to become more compassionate through music.

As a conference presenter, Dr. Tseng has been selected to speak at the College Music Society International Conferences, MTNA National Conferences, MTAC meetings, and National Group Piano and Piano Pedagogy Forum in Argentina, South Korea, New Mexico, Georgia, Ohio, and California. She has attended professional development workshops at the Brevard Conference on Music Entrepreneurship, International Positive Psychology Association International Conference, Professional Pedagogy Summit, and NAMM. She has also performed solo and collaboratively in Taiwan, Russia, Austria, Italy, Oklahoma, and Los Angeles.

In the music community, Dr. Tseng has adjudicated piano auditions and competitions in southern California. She has served as the state chair of Young Professionals Leadership Network, the regional concerto competition chair, Recording Secretary, and Vice President of State Membership for California Association of Professional Music Teachers.

    Sharing a Post

    Why do my friends need to SignIn to read the post I shared?

    Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!
