About Yang
I am a music educator with over twenty years of teaching experience in California and hold a Master’s degree in Music with a focus in violin performance. I work with children of all ages and levels, from beginners to advanced students, and approach teaching with patience, clarity, and encouragement.
My background in violin performance, along with training as a certified yoga teacher and Pilates instructor, shapes a teaching style that emphasizes healthy posture, body awareness, and injury-free playing. I focus on building strong musical foundations, effective practice habits, and confidence. I have supported many students in successfully preparing for auditions, evaluations, and music exams.
I value being part of a learning community where students feel motivated, supported, and proud of their progress. Outside of teaching, I enjoy staying active, exploring health and wellness, and spending time with family.
Book With Yang
“I didn’t want my son to be turned off to piano because of all the practicing. Lots of work but not a ton of play. James brings enthusiasm and joy to the discipline. He picked up my son’s style and personality, and could flow according to my son’s uniqueness/playfulness.”
“My biggest concern is if my kids don’t enjoy and have no progress over a significant amount of lessons time. So far your role as a teacher has been very helpful in making my kids interested & focused on their lessons”
