Chandar Boyle

Chandar Boyle studied Piano Performance and

received her bachelor’s in Music Composition from UCLA,

and later returned to school in 2016 to study Piano Pedagogy

at UNI. She has maintained an active piano studio since

1995, and enjoys teaching all ages from preschool-adults.

Her students enjoy participating in a variety of festivals and

studio recitals throughout the year including Federation

Festival, Clavinova Festival, STAC, IMTA, Festival of

Trees, and Rock Band Recital.

Chandar was raised on the Suzuki method, starting at the

age of 3, and therefore values ear training and solid

technique, but also the importance of reading and

interpreting music notation. Because of her extensive

background with worship music and composition, she enjoys

incorporating elements of improvisation and chordal

harmonization into lessons. Overall, lessons are tailored to

each student’s strengths and preferred styles of music with

the ultimate goal of being a well-rounded musician with a

life-long love of music.

Chandar also has a passion to see students enjoying their

gifts in the context of the local church, school, and other

ensembles. This is what drove her desire to build Music Hill

Studios, a place where students can play together in variety

of ensembles and rock bands, and where teachers can

collaborate and encourage one another in our quest for

musical excellence.
