About

FaceArt Academy of Music and Technology

FaceArt was co-founded by Dr. Jenny Q Chai, a graduate mentor at the Curtis Institute of Music and Professor of Piano at Bard College, together with Piotr Tomasz, an alumnus of The Juilliard School of Music.

Over the past fifteen years, FaceArt has upheld its core philosophy: “The value of music lies in a broader vision.” It organically integrates the systematicity of Western music education with the rigor of Eastern educational traditions, and incorporates cutting-edge science and technology to realize intermedia musical art. The school is committed to nurturing a new generation of interdisciplinary musical talents equipped with solid performance skills and artistic creativity.

Through systematic training and extensive artistic practice, FaceArt helps students develop leadership, cultivate aesthetic sensibility and shape their characters. Music thus becomes a hallmark of their individuality and creativity, as well as a key to gaining admission to world-renowned universities and conservatories.
