Yumi Ito teaches in Zurich
Yumi Ito is taking over the main vocal jazz lectureship at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). The musician, composer, producer and arranger comes from a Japanese-Polish family and studied at the ZHdK and the FHNW.
Born in 1990, Yumi Ito lives and works in Basel, performs regularly all over the world and has shared the stage with personalities such as Al Jarreau, Becca Stevens, Kurt Rosenwinkel and Mark Turner. Her own art includes jazz, art-pop, electronica, free improvisation and neo-classical music, flexibly performable from solo to orchestra.

The ZHdK offers a Bachelor's degree in Jazz and Pop and a Master's degree in Music Education with a specialization in instrumental/vocal music education (jazz or pop). The latter prepares students for a career in the fields of performance, creation, production and business and also enables them to work as teachers in music schools, secondary schools or private lessons.
