A magna cum laude and concerto competition
winner from Carleton College, Emilie Lin graduated
with distinction in psychology and honors in music

factors specialist in industry during her postgraduate
years. After receiving her master’s and Ph.D.
degree in psychology from the University of Illinois
(Urbana-Champaign) with a University Fellowship,
Emilie went to the University of Michigan as a postdoctoral

Emilie
shares her love of music through piano teaching,
performing, composing and arranging. She integrates
her knowledge and experience from several disciplines
of psychology into her piano teaching to nurture
in each student a life-long love for music. Guiding
her students to become more conscientious during
the learning process is also central to her teaching.
Emilie is a member of the Music Teachers National
Association and has served as an adjudicator in
local student events. Her goal as a composer and
arranger is to create engaging pieces that make
the process of learning and teaching music a fun
and joyful adventure. To listen to some of her compositions,

in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Emilie moved to the United
