Dr. Hanna Wu Li

Professor Emerita of Piano and Piano Pedagogy, Carnegie Mellon University

Helena is an extraordinary pianist, gifted with an innate sense of musicianship. She intuitively understands the music. Her playing has always been detailed, expressive and musical.

Prof. Raymond Herbert

Professor Emeritus, School of Music, University of Missouri- Columbia

Helena is a remarkably talented pianist and an excellent piano teacher. She has an excellent knowledge of various musical styles, and the ability to communicate this knowledge to her students. Recently, I viewed a video of her students, and it was immediately apparent from their performance that they were extremely well taught.

Dr. Alec Chien

Professor Emeritus, Allegheny College
President, Meadville Youth Vision
Chair, Board of Directors, Meadville Neighborhood Center

Helena has an engaging personality whose love for music is very refreshing to see. She is dedicated to her piano as her means of expression. I think she will be a wonderful asset to her community and to her work place.
