Peter Wang, a Global Young Entrepreneur Star of 2023, comes from a renowned Taiwanese culinary family. He is also an internationally acclaimed pianist, an Associate Professor at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music at the University of Sydney, and held the distinction of being the youngest Taiwanese pianist to serve as the Chief Examiner of the Australian Music Examinations Board from 2010 to 2017. He has garnered numerous international awards, including the International Theme and Variations Prize hosted by Steinway Pianos, a scholarship diploma from the Trinity College of Music in the United Kingdom, and membership in the prestigious American Key International Honor Society, among many other achievements.

While achieving numerous honours in the world of music, Peter Wang's primary goal of life is to pass on his knowledge through education to inspire young enthusiasts. His lifelong dedication revolves around helping students achieve their potential, with the hope that more Taiwanese talents can shine on the global stage. Over the course of 17 years in entrepreneurship, Peter Wang has assisted countless students with an interest in music, earning both students' affection and parental approval, in cultivating their interests and developing their expertise. His educational philosophy, commitment to community service, and successful business model have earned him the highest praise and applause from the industry, the overseas compatriot community, and the academia. Winning the Global Young Entrepreneur Stars of 2023 is well-deserved recognition.

At the age of 21, Peter Wang founded Con Brio Music School, a venture in music education that he has contributed for 17 years. Over the years, it has grown from a music school into the Con Brio Group, which encompasses various branches such as music academies, YOUBRIO online teaching app, and an international music grading and examination system. The group's services range from performance management, music instrument sales, to study and travel abroad.

In 2017, Peter Wang, in collaboration with a former IBM Asia-Pacific executive, established the International Con Brio Online Music Grading System and the YOUBRIO teaching App. These initiatives have greatly benefited students worldwide by sparing them the inconvenience of travelling for music examinations. The examination committee, founded by Wang, involves top international musicians, and the grading system now serves teachers and students in over 50 countries. Due to Con Brio Music School's consistent cultivation of exceptional talent and the numerous awards won by students, the school has received the prestigious title of "Best Music School in Australia" for ten consecutive years.

Peter Wang emphasizes that Con Brio Music School's curriculum and services are designed with a focus on diverse, multidimensional services tailored to students' needs. The school employs engaging teaching methods. Additionally, the selection of practice pieces often relates to students' lives, incorporating themes from animations, stories, or popular songs to make learning enjoyable.

Furthermore, the school offers various "Know How" resources to meet students' needs and help them achieve their goals. For example, in Australia, students at different stages of their education face various challenges, and the school provides academic guidance through music achievements, even assisting students in securing scholarships. The school is well-versed in every music competition and knows how to support students. Learning music not only brings joy to children but also helps them express emotions and stay calm. It can enhance focus and memory, making a positive impact on their academic performance. The achievements of students in music are a source of great happiness for the school. Peter Wang shares a heart-warming story: On a stormy night, a parent arrived at the school carrying their child and the numerous music awards and trophies they had won that day, expressing their gratitude. The sight of witnessing a student's achievements is truly one of life's greatest joys.

Peter Wang comes from a family with a background in the culinary industry. Currently, he is involved in developing cutting-edge dining brands in Sydney, introducing the first VOGUE Cafe fashion restaurant in Australia, which incorporates musical elements. This restaurant is scheduled to open at the end of 2023 at the W Hotel in Darling Harbour, Sydney. In addition to his 17-year dedication to promoting music education, Peter Wang also actively participates in the overseas compatriot community and business chambers. He served as Vice President of the Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce in Australia (TCCA) and President of its Junior Chapter in 2019, and he continues to hold the position since 2021. Over the years, he has wholeheartedly supported and organized students' music performances in the overseas compatriot community, receiving very high praises.

The recognition as a Global Young Entrepreneur Star of 2023 is not only an acknowledgment of Peter Wang's achievements but also a testament to the successful experience and business model of Con Brio Music School, which can serve as a model for everyone and every industry.
