Opus Music Education was founded by Theresa Chen. Theresa started her musical journey at the age of six. While piano was her first instrument, she also learned four other musical instruments and participated in numerous public recitals, master classes, and local piano competitions as a child. She began teaching music when she was a student at UCLA and was asked to take over the instruction of after-school piano classes at elementary schools in West LA. Since then, she has been actively teaching private and group piano lessons. She received her Masters degree from California State University Fullerton where she majored in Piano Pedagogy, focusing on group and private piano instruction. In 2005, Theresa was recognized by the Music Teachers National Association for her successful teaching experience and outstanding contributions to the music teaching profession.
