Ancient philosopher Lao Tzu said, “music in the soul can be heard by the universe”. I dedicate my work to support others and myself to listen deeply within, and to express from a place of undivided wholeness. This process creates a rhythm of offering and receiving an unconditional life force - a gift. Together we learn to extend this experience into all our relationships, including the one with nature. I look forward to sharing this exploration with you ~ Liangyeh
"Music comes from such a deep place within you. You must keep making it." ~ Meredith Monk (composer, choreographer, recipient of 2014 National Medals for Arts)
"Your music transfixes me. It's stunning, and sublime, and moves me deeply." ~ Candace R. (Tibetan cranial therapist)
"During the workshop... I was able to make sounds that honestly reflected how I felt in my heart ... it was really liberating and freed me from thinking I 'cannot sing' ... it allowed me to connect deeply with the others in the room and experienced the mutual joy of singing together" ~ Nina H. (psychotherapist)
“I can’t tell you how much I liked your singing hike workshop. You combined the love and respect for nature, as well as your beautiful voice sharing the power of music. You created a very unique experience for the attendees and was able to make them feel comfortable at sharing their authentic voices." ~ Juanita E.(OSMP and the Arts Coordinator for City of Boulder)

“I experienced Liangyeh's sound meditation and healing during the stressful holidays season. Her work helped me to reflect on stress' toll on my body, and to observe different sensations without judgment … As a hospital nurse, I hope other people can experience this amazing woman's gift and her calming presence. I know this program can help people sleep better, regulate their stress responses, and to heal.” ~ Abigail C. (Nursing Graduate from Yale University)
“With a kind and gentle presence, Liangyeh’ classes weave together sound and breath to create a rich environment of growth.” ~ Caterina Z. (Fulbright scholar in Colombia)
“Liangyeh teaches music through the senses, using metaphors that are vivid with colors and landscapes to help her students grasp the energy of the music. She uses touch and movement helping students to feel the music from within their body, transmitting the somatic sense of how to make different musical qualities. She sees the unique gifts and potentials of her students clearly and is able to inspire discipline by allowing the student to feel they and their music are meaningful and recognized." ~ Eve H. (psychotherapist)
“Ms. Tai artfully inspired the participants to be vulnerable and brave whilst experimenting with movement and voice work in a collaborative process.” ~ Ruth G (Director of Admission and Advancement at Boulder Valley Waldorf School)
