About Voice/Singing Lessons with Amber Chiang

Orange County Voice Teacher Amber Chiang feels that music is an important part of education because it aids in the development of cognitive, motor and social skills. Most of all, it is fun and rewarding, and a skill to last a lifetime!

Amber has performed at venues across the world singing jazz and pop music- including the 2000 Southern California Special Olympics. Inspired by her love of music, she has taught piano and voice in NY, LA and now teaches singing in Irvine!

Amber also plays piano, flute and recorder. Amber speaks Chinese Mandarin. In her spare time, she is an artist of Chinese brush painting and volunteers at the Senior Center in Irvine as a lead for the Sing-Alongs.
