Yang Fan studied at Tianjin and Sichuan conservatories and taught at Sichuan from 1989 to 1993. He taught students to play as though telling a story, developing expression alongside technique.
He appeared with an orchestra at Beijing Concert Hall in 1994 and recorded an album with the Central Orchestra in 1996. He played on the films Peacock and Under the Hawthorn Tree, toured 16 Chinese cities in 2012, and judged the Castelfidardo accordion competition in Italy. He gave a solo concert at Beijing’s Poly Theater in 2005 and returned to the same venue in 2013 for a concert titled I Am Crazy for Accordion.
