In K-12 education, Mr. Yu encourages conceptual learning across the curriculum. He would like to help students build the connection between music and their background knowledge. For instance, the mathematical application in music composing, how instrumental tone represents acoustic physics, music development influenced by historical events, and how the music rhythm constructs human emotion and imagination. 

Mr. Yu believes that music is a subjective field, students can combine basic musical knowledge with a cross-curriculum view to build their music appreciation logic which can help them understand the music world better with their interests. This learning process not only helps students study the concept of music but also creates a new sight of their old knowledge.
