She took lessons from some of the best teachers in New York City and quickly developed a reputation as a prodigious talent. Yvonne's talent was recognized early on, and she began performing in public when she was just ten years old. She made her debut at Carnegie Hall when she was twelve, playing a Mozart concerto with the New York Philharmonic.
