About Sebastian
Sebastian Wen is a highly skilled classical and conservatory trained pianist, performer, and music educator with 16 years of performance experience and 6 years of teaching experience.
Sebastian began taking piano lessons at age 7 from the request of his grandfather. He immediately fell in love with the instrument, practicing for hours almost every day. Sebastian has a natural affinity for music, developing perfect pitch and the ability to learn pieces by ear within the first few months of his lessons. He later began studying under Dr. Kent Lyman, director of piano studies at Meredith College. By the time he was 9 years old, he was already learning advanced and musically complex pieces seen in university-level study. He began competing in local and national competitions, placing in a large number of them and garnering statewide attention.
At age 15, Sebastian's incredibly expressive and technical playing was noticed by professors from the UNC School of the Arts, where he attended the university for high school and college. During his time at UNCSA, he received intensive training under Dr. Dmitri Vorobiev, a Russian pianist with international acclaim. He later studied at UNC Greensboro, but returned to Dr. Vorobiev at UNCSA to continue his degree, where he prepared for the Chopin and Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition.
Outside of piano, Sebastian is also a first responder and works part-time as a paramedic. He performs regularly for nursing homes, memory care facilities, and retirement communities. When he has extra time on his hands, he loves to play video games, fold origami, draw, and absolutely shred some Metallica on the electric guitar!

Each student receives highly individualized lesson plans tailored to their needs, goals, and learning styles. My goal is to teach strong fundamentals and instill a love for music that aligns internally with my student. Lessons are relaxed, approachable, and always focused on creating a positive and rewarding experience.
Despite my strong background of classical music, I am happy to teach any genre or style of music my students desire. I spend much time myself playing piano versions of pop and video game music! Whether my student wants to learn Beethoven or Taylor Swift songs, I will always match them where they are.
