Hello pianists! I know we have all taken piano lessons learning pieces composed by Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, to name a few, and most of us probably have tried freestyle improvisation of jazz and blues. Who doesn’t like to jam with friends! But is that all we can do for our music journey in life? I don’t think so! As a pianist who grew up in China, and graduated in California. I feel impelled to introduce you to a different world of music - Chinese music, for the calmness, tenderness and gracefulness it can bring you in today’s stressful life full of technologies. Besides pushing ourselves to pursue success and excellency, sometimes, all we need is just a moment to smell the flowers. And Chinese music often embraces a feeling of natural beauty, like a stream in the bamboo woods flowing around the lush mountains, and can help you relax your body and mind.
For this series, we arranged 8 melodies, ranging from traditional folk music to popular tunes. These music are so famous that everyone in China knows about them. We will also talk about the l Chinese culture behind. We hope you have been exposed to basic music theory before, so it’ll be easier to layer the Chinese music theory on top of it. However, we will still teach you the basics related to each piece, Just make sure you contact us if you have any questions along the way. Let us know your needs. Even though, this is online courses, we want you to feel like home. And we’ll always support you through the journey. Ok, let’s do this!
