“Did you know Alan Greenspan was a great saxophone player?” says Professor Julian Yeo. “He toured with Henry Jerome and his orchestra after high school.”

Like Greenspan, Yeo is a musician — a jazz singer. He also teaches accounting. “For both you need a good foundation. Music has theory, and for accounting there's the double-entry system. Both foundations dictate what you do, and they both require a lot of professional judgment. And without a foundation, you wouldn't be able to embellish.”

“Not that accounting should be creative,” he added with a chuckle.

Yeo started playing the electric organ at age six. “I always loved to sing. I never think of it as performing. I'm just there to communicate something. Similarly in my teaching — it's all about communicating.”
