She is the concert master and second principle violin player for the Erie Junior Philharmonic Orchestra in Erie, PA, as well as the ensemble leader and first violin player for the Erie Junior String Ensemble. She is also active in the Edgewood Soundsations Show Choir, where she plays piano and sings for the choir. Since 1999,Yirae Kang Kang has also participated in the annual OMEA Music Contest, in which she has consistently received a rating of one (the highest rating possible) in the violin A category.

She is also president of the National Honor Society, and has been a member of Student Council since her freshman year.

In her free time she enjoys dancing, exercising, reading and spending time with her friends. Kang says that she wants to teach at the Arts Center because she “loves working with people, helping them in any way I can and getting their help as well.” She calls herself a “responsible, strong-willed person who does not give up until the goal has been satisfied ... I work hard to improve my weaknesses, as well as to strengthen my talents.” Violin lessons with Yirae Kang will be $10 per half hour, and can be arranged by calling Music Coordinator Lyn Savarise at 964-3396.
