Kaii was born in Taipei, Taiwan where she began her musical training on the piano, French horn and cello. Her Catholic school choir had provided the experience for singing in many different languages. Since elementary school, she had traveled throughout Asia and the United States to perform. She earned her B.A. degree in Piano Performance from UCLA, where she served as the A Capella choir president under Roger Wagner. She earned her M.A. degree from Cal State Northridge in Piano Performance and studied under world renowned pianist, Jacob Gimpel. While at CSUN, Kaii also completed her K-12 Single Subject and Community College Teaching Credentials. Before joining the Irvine Unified School District, she taught piano courses at College of the Canyon, K-12 vocal and general music for the Las Virgenes School District, and high school vocal and musical theatre classes for the Oak Park Unified School District. She also taught ear training and music theory classes at the Grove School of Music while becoming a MIDI musician to work with musicians such as David Foster.
Ms. Lee put together "Dvorak Assemblies" for Alderwood Elementary School in March 2012, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, by writing a script about Dvorak, teaching Dvorak's songs to her classes and reaaranging Dvorak music for Mrs. Kroesen's string students to perform in the same assemblies. This project also involved American Music Scholar, Joseph Horowitz, Bass-Bariton, Terry Cook, and the Pacific Symphony Orchestra. Currently, Kaii enjoys teaching at Alderwood, Brywood, Eastshore, Oak Creek and Turtle Rock Elementary Schools, being a private piano teacher, and singing with the Pacific Chorale. She participated in the Pacific Chorale's Paris Tour 2012 performances in Paris, France. On her non-school days, she loves to play with her grand daughters.
