Kang Su Kheng, a pianist well-known for her sensitivity in music interpretation, actively performs as an accompanist in classical music. Hailing from Alor Setar, Kedah, Kang is also an accomplished keyboardist in contemporary music and occasionally plays the percussion in gamelan troupes. Recently, Kang has been commissioned by an NGO as a music composer for their dance performances.
Kang completed her Bachelor’s Degree in Piano Performance and Pedagogy at USM in 2009, studying under Dr. Yumi Yoshioka and Dr. Jason Tye Kong Chiang. In the same year, she clinched the best scholar award for the LTCL piano exam and completed the FTCL the following years. Kang pursued her Master’s Degree in Piano Accompaniment at Wichita State University, USA, under the tutelage of Dr. Julie Bees. She was awarded a full Graduate Assistantship that gave her the opportunity to tutor university students in piano performance.
During her tenure in the United Stated, Kang taught as a part-time lecturer, teaching undergraduate group piano classes while serving with The Guild Accompanist Group at Wichita State University as an apprentice accompanist. Despite being an accomplished solo pianist in her own right, accompanying has been Kang’s primary focus as working with different musicians has been her lifelong passion.
