Her academy, HYMUSIC is a Steinway select studio, and serves hundred of students and teachers in Vancouver and abroad. The academy is expanding exponentially under her guidance.

Yiming describes her approach to music making and teaching, saying: "I have a strong passion for playing music and teaching music. To me: music is not about the songs themselves, but how music becomes a part of our lives, changing the way we feel and live. To help encourage others into a musical career, gives them not only the skills to play music; but it gives their lives a fuller, richer meaning. Knowing that I am able to pass the torch onto other students, keeps the passion and fire within alive. It is my mission to deliver the best education I possibly can, and to turn students into young aspiring artists."
