Guqin Beginner II

This Beginner II course is a continuation of the Beginner class at China Institute or for anyone who has completed a minimum of 10 hours of basic Guqin lessons. In this 5-session summer program, students will delve deeper into Guqin tablature (notation), refine basic fingerings, and continue to explore the nuances of the instrument’s three tone colors: open strings, pressed tones, and harmonics. Alongside honing foundational skills, students will also be introduced to new pieces. Additionally, this class will offer insights into the rich history, aesthetics, and cultural significance of the Guqin. Students who have previously studied the Guqin at other venues are welcome to join this class.
