Hi, my name is Averie Wu, and I'm fifteen years old.
I began studying piano with Dr. David Leifer when I was five. Shortly afterwards, I studied piano with Chloris Li for two years. In 2018, I was accepted into Mrs. Clarfield's studio. Ever since then, she has helped me grow both musically and technically for the past seven years.
With Mrs. Clarfield, I have won prizes in NJMTA Young Musicians Competition (1st, 2nd, 3rd, HM), Piano Teacher's Congress of New York Honor Program (1st place), Cecilian Club Young Artist Competition (1st place), NJMTA Spring Auditions (High Honor), Chopin International Piano Competition Hartford (3rd place), Bravura Young Artists Concerto Competition (3rd place), and various international and online competitions. I was also selected twice to attend the John Perry Academy over the past two summers. I have played in Carnegie Hall and the Victoria Theater in NJPAC. My performances have also been aired on the radio via the Kids on the Keys-AM program.
Besides piano, I also enjoy reading, occasionally running, and swimming.
