As a recipient of full scholarship, Wang completed her bachelor’s degree and artist diploma within 6 years at the Vancouver Academy of Music under the direction of Professor Lee Kum Sing. Then, Wang was awarded full scholarship again, and she pursued her master’s degree (2014-2016) at the UBC School of Music, where she was honored as “The Most Outstanding Student” each year and the only representative student invited to perform at the UBC Chan Centre.
Carrying an exceptional ability to rise to the top, Wang is a consistent prizewinner at numerous national and international piano competitions: the golden prize at the Hong Kong International Piano Open Competition as well as first prizes at the Hai Nan Music Festival, Key Meek Competition, Qinghai Cup Piano Competition and Gulangyu International Piano Competition.
