About your music teacher
Hello all! My name is Yi, and I’m a singer/songwriter, stage performer, studio musician, and music Instructor. What makes me unique, is how my personal career took off while attending the Central Conservatory of Music in my hometown Beijing, where I was lucky enough to become discovered by a famous music producer. I had the privilege, and worked with top level professionals that the music industry has to offer! Because of that, I was lucky enough to experience the full scope of being a touring Headliner, where I gained much invaluable experience that comes with working at that highest of levels. From there, I went on to attend McNally Smith College of Music, located in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN. where I received my Master’s degree in Music Performance - Vocals. Throughout that time, I’ve been taught by industry leading professionals for 12+ years, and have been instructing for 7+ years. I’ve taught every style from pop, to rock, jazz, R’n B, and musical theater. One constant thing that remains a great passion of mine, is in sharing all of my unique, well developed, knowledge and experience. I use this to create your very own personalized lesson plan, in order to help you achieve your musical aspirations regardless of your current leve, and transform you into the musician you can become!
