Christmas Recordings

Christmas Recordings

Just recorded and uploaded two Christmas songs. One is titled Away in a Manger but it is not the most common one you always hear. Wanted to record this one because I remember my mom always sang it with me during Christmas time when I was small. I really miss that, especially when I haven't seen her for years. I hope she'll love my recording. Another one is Amazing Grace. It's not really a Christmas song but it's a Christmas song so I guess it would fit in and everybody loves it. :)

Away in a Manger
Away in a manger
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear Children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there




Merry Christmas to you all and hope the world will have a brighter future!

Happy Hour with Yuen Yee & Cindi @ The Imperial Nursing Home

"Happy Hour with Yuen Yee & Cindi @ The Imperial Nursing Home"



We had an amazing time playing Christmas songs at The Imperial Nursing home in Chicago yesterday. The residents and staff there were very nice and friendly. We played about 20 Christmas songs at Happy Hour with Yuen Yee Duo and our audience were singing and clapping along with us. It was very beautiful to see the staff at The Imperial bringing many residents in wheelchairs down to the activity room to see us perform. It was definitely a big pleasure for us to have the chance to bring some great music into the nursing home and to see their residents smiled and laughed. We had a beautiful time and look forward to playing at the Imperial again! :)


"We wish you a Merry Christmas!"

Christmas time is coming.


Christmas time is coming.

Oh, I love December. Christmas is probably my favorite time of the year. Love those Christmas trees, decorations, cookies, gifts, Santa, music everywhere. It's so much fun to play Christmas songs for the whole month. Not only me and my friends are playing Christmas shows, but also my students and many little kids in music schools. Usually I play Christmas shows with friends of my age but this Christmas, I'm going to play with little kids and the elderly. Can't wait to bring some fun and amazing time to our audience. Don't forget to write your Christmas wishes to Santa!

Hohoho~

Teaching Studio is Expanding!


Teaching Studio is Expanding!

I am so excited to be part of a great Academy of Music & Dance in West Rogers Park. Music House just added me to their faculty list!

It's very nice to see so many little talented kids having so much fun learning and playing music every week. I especially appreciate those parents who sit in every lesson to learn with their children and practice with them at home every day. They reminded me of how my parents brought me to music lessons, encouraged me to practice and came to watch my performances when I was younger, oh and actually even nowadays my parents are still very happy to see me play. Parents are really the best!

You just can never get tired of doing something that you love to do. I'm still looking forward to teaching more new students. ;)

New Website

New Website (www.yuenyeelam.com)

Couldn't believe that I built myself a website.. hmm... all by myself. It might not have any flash or fancy videos or perfect recordings or amazing photos but I just want to share my musical life with people, especially my dear friends in other states, other countries.

I'm always thankful for everything I got. Yes, even the bad ones. All the people that I met. All the challenges that I went through. All the amazing things that happened. Believe it or not, happiness really helps you to get through so many obstacles. If you could live through a difficult time with a smile on your pretty little face, you will see the biggest smile in the world when good times come across. :)
