  • I have performed in operas and concerts in the United States, China, and Europe!
  • I love playing different musical instruments, including piano, flute, clarinet, saxophone, ukulele, and guitar!

Hi, I'm Senlin Yao, a music educator with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Minnesota. I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Music Education at Hunter College. I have experience teaching general music, choir, piano, ukulele, guitar, and instrumental music to students of different ages. My teaching approach focuses on making music fun, interactive, and accessible through singing, movement, games, and creative activities. I believe every child has the potential to enjoy and succeed in music. My goal is to create a positive and supportive learning environment where students can build confidence, express their creativity, and develop a lifelong love of music.
