Pipa Advanced IV

This course is designed for students seeking to achieve an advanced level of proficiency in pipa performance. Students will study the martial-style masterpiece Ambushing from Ten Sides (《十面埋伏》), a cornerstone of the pipa repertoire. In addition to exploring modern compositions using both numbered and staff notation, the course also introduces traditional Gongche notation (工尺谱). Upon completion, students will have the opportunity to showcase their skills as soloists in formal performance settings. Students with prior pipa experience may join the class after an evaluation by the instructor.
