A magna cum laude and concerto competition winner from Carleton College, Emilie Lin graduated with distinction in psychology and honors in music performance. She devoted most of her time to becoming a cognitive psychologist in academia and a human 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 fellow, but left the position to pursue professional training in music. She received her master’s degree in piano performance from the University of Michigan with full scholarship, and won the concerto competition as a first year master’s student.

Music teachers and professors who have positively shaped Emilie’s musical life in chronological order are: Shu-Wen Huang Tsai
(), Jen-Jen Hong ( ), Jin-Ai Hong (), Jin-Lee Lee (), Mrs. Good, Jade Lin (), Anne Mayer, Andrew De Grado, Anton Nel, and Christopher Harding.

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.

Born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Emilie moved to the United States at about 14 years of age under the guardianship of her great-uncle and great-aunt. She currently lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan with her husband Greg McConville and two sons.
