==Early life and education==
Michael Ching was born in 1958 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Before he was one year old his family left Honolulu, and he grew up in New Orleans and Saint Paul, Minnesota.〔 His father was an accomplished amateur pianist and a college professor in theater and speech. Ching later recalled, "He played everything from Chopin to Dave Brubeck transcriptions. He wanted to go into music but his family discouraged him."〔Strauss, Elaine. ("Summer Arts Preview" ). ''Princeton Info''. June 14, 2006.〕
He started piano at the age of six and was quite skilled at it, at one point considering a career as a concert pianist. In addition, he studied flute, violin, and oboe, mostly for the sake of composition. He started composing as a child, and by the time he reached high school he had studied composition at Interlochen and also had private composition instruction.〔〔
Ching attended Duke University on a composition scholarship, studying with Robert Ward and Iain Hamilton.〔Ching, Michael. ("Remembering Robert Ward (1917-2013)" ). ''New Music Box''. April 12, 2013.〕〔Mobley, Mark. ("Remembering Pulitzer Prize-Winning Composer Robert Ward" ). ''NPR''. April 3, 2013.〕 He graduated in 1980, and his senior project was a one-act opera retelling a vampire story set in New Orleans, which received a small performance at Duke.〔〔
