From 1999 to 2006, Hsi served as the Director of the Association of Vocal Artists of R.O.C for seven years. During her tenure, she devoted herself to promoting vocal music, including developing vocal music certification and holding competitions.[1][2]

Since retiring from her full-time position at the Music Department of National Taiwan Normal University in 2003, Hsi Gomda Phyllis has continued to promote vocal music education. Hsi has published various types of works, including music essays, performance critiques, songbook compilations, and lyric translations, which have become important reference materials for local vocal music students.[1][2]
