Mia Jang
Mia Jang is a contemporary musician. A classically trained pianist, she writes solo piano music in the ambient vein. A native of Taiwan who now lives in the United States, she has released two albums to date, Sweet Dreams in 1998 and Water Circles in 2000.[1]
Born in Taipei, Taiwan (張恒寧 Chang Heng-Ning), her music education began at age three.[2] Her earliest musical education was given by her father, Dr. John C.K. Chang (張真光), who was a composer and music teacher himself. She continued her music education in the Department of Western Music at Hua-Gang Arts School, Chinese Culture University (BA). Among her composition teachers was Professor Ma, Yo-Yo Ma's father. Later, she came to the San Francisco Conservatory of Music graduate program, studying composition and conducting, and has since lived and worked in San Francisco. Her debut CD originated with original music she wrote for her children, hence the title Sweet Dreams (published by Narada). Her second CD, Water Circles, reached number 16 on Billboard's Top New Age Albums chart.[3] She continues to write music for soundtracks and other uses.
