She was born on December 10, 1980 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Sarah Chang was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, of Korean parents. Min-Soo Chang, her father, is a violinist, and Myoung Jun Chang, her mother, is a composer. Her parents had moved to the United States in 1979 so that Sarah''s father could study for an advanced music degree at Temple University. Her mother was taking composition classes at the University of Pennsylvania. She has a younger brother named Michael. Sarah liked to play one-finger melodies on the piano at the age of 3 but, possibly taking a cue from her father, asked her parents for a violin. She began practicing with a rented 1/16-sized violin at age 4 and auditioned for the Juilliard School at age 6 by playing the Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor.
