Jiawei Tschu began his piano study in his hometown Tongliao in the province of Inner Mongolia in China. At the age of seventeen he came to the US to study under the tutelage of Professor John Salmon at UNCG, where he obtained a BM in piano performance in 2016. During his undergraduate study, he chose to spend a semester in Austria studying German at the University of Klagenfurt and piano at the Carinthian Conservatory. He returned to Austria after graduation in order to continue his piano study under the direction of Professor Alexei Kornienko. He also took lessons at the Vienna Conservatory and the Graz Conservatory. During this stay in Austria, he obtained his academic certification in German language and was awarded two Artistic Diplomas by the Carinthian Conservatory.

In addition to his performance life, Jiawei is also an active piano pedagogue. He taught piano at the Lernraum-Schule as well as the New School of Rock in Klagenfurt, Austria, to kids at age from 6 to 13. Jiawei currently teaches piano at Moore Music in addition to offering private lessons. In 2020, Jiawei returned from Austria to Greensboro and earned his MM from UNCG in piano pedagogy in 2022 under the direction of Dr. Annie Jeng and Prof. Andrew Willis, where he is now pursuing the DMA in Collaborative Piano under the direction of Dr. James Douglass.
