Yvonne Choi

Yvonne is so much more than an exceptional pianist and musician - she is a wonderful collaborator and true partner in music-making. And, she’s REALLY fun to be around.

- David Anderson

Artistic Director of A Few Good Men (Oakville Choir for Children & Youth)

Yvonne has made our church’s piano “sing” in a way we’ve never experienced before. With incredible musicality, she offers us postludes that have the entire congregation entranced and staying in the sanctuary until finished. Yvonne is guiding our small choir to new heights and brings us guests artists from her artistic circle that elevate the music ministry to another level.

I never hesitate to contact Yvonne for choral rehearsals and performances as I am always confident of her high quality musical output. She eloquently and sensitively communicates through her playing and coaching of singers. Her quiet confidence, coupled with her flexibility consistently compliments and supports my artistic direction and our singers' development. Her constant yearning to improve makes her a wonderful role model to our singers. BONUS: Yvonne is comfortable with technology - she works LIVE online with ease, and produces high quality audio recordings as needed. Her quality output during the pandemic demonstrates her resilience and creativeness in evolving her unique art of collaborative music making!

We were thrilled to have Yvonne play at our wedding reception. She was easy to communicate with beforehand, so we felt confident we were in good hands. We had a wide range in the age of our guests and Yvonne was able to put a playlist together that had songs everyone knew. Our guests commented that having a live piano player was a really nice surprise and how much they enjoyed her music. It was a pleasure having Yvonne join us on our special day.

At age 11 my dad asked me if I wanted to learn to play the piano. Influenced by my older sister I said no, and I regretted it until I was 58 when I decided I really want to learn. I was so lucky to have met Yvonne as my piano teacher. Her incredible patience and her passion for the piano really helped me grow my passion for the instrument. I learned to love many of the classic composers like Beethoven, Debussy, Ravel, Satie and many more. Now retired I have a hobby that will stay with me forever. Thanks to Yvonne

Yvonne is extremely versatile in styles of repertoire, and always brings an infectious energy and incredible attention to detail to her musical performances.
