🎶【Open for Registration｜2 Spots Remaining】Qian Mu's Former Residence Guqin Learning Program: Free Guqin Courses for Current Students: "Uninterrupted Music and Music" - 26th Enrollment Period, Starting March 2026
The guqin, or zither, embodies the ideals and aesthetics of scholars for thousands of years. The elegance of its sound can calm the mind and cultivate character, and also allow for dialogue with history. The "Guqin Learning Project" at Qian Mu's Former Residence has been running for thirteen years. This project provides free guqin lessons to students, hoping to pass on the profound elegance of traditional culture to contemporary young students.
Our courses are taught personally by the senior guqin master, Mr. Chen Changjing. Mr. Chen possesses superb skills and rich teaching experience, adept at explaining complex techniques and music theory clearly and understandably. He guides students to steadily grasp the essentials of playing and the cultural connotations of the guqin. Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned student wishing to continue improving, you can find a pace that suits you in our classes.
In the company of teachers and friends, and amidst the resonance of strings, students will experience the essence of traditional music and showcase their learning at the final gathering, reliving the charm of ancient literati music gatherings. The course is divided into sections according to students' levels: new students will begin with classic pieces such as "Xianweng Cao," "Xiangjiang Yuan," and "Qiufeng Ci"; returning students will receive a customized plan based on their individual progress.
Only two spots remain for this session. We sincerely invite students from all levels of school to register and participate, to cultivate their character outside of their studies, and to let the melodious sounds of the guqin accompany them on their school days!
