The ‘Benedictus' by Palestrina was sung with authentic purity. Kodaly's ‘Mountain Nights’ and ‘The Angels and the Shepherds’ were especially interesting. The hearer could truly enjoy the high standard of the choir and its superb musical interpretations.” |

| “Your Children's Choir is exceptional to say the least. We could easily understand why they are talked about all over the world. A choir of that calibre deserves to be heard throughout the choral world. Stealing our hearts equally with your talented and delightful choir, was the seven-year-old violinist Li Chuen-Yun. Never in our entire lives have we experienced anything like him. Even with his extraordinary ability, he still possessed the mischief of what would be expected of a boy his age, and that is as it should be. Being the person you are, we are confident you will help to guide him in the right direction in order to utilize his talents to best of his ability. If he is not the greatest, we predict he will be among the greatest violinist of his day. Please keep us in touch with his progress.” |

His research has resulted in the development of a method or approach – known as the ‘Dr. Yip Wai-Hong Method'. I firmly believe that Dr. Yip is one of the few music educators in the world who has the motivation, background, experience and necessary organizational skills to carry on very important ‘action' research.” |
