G8 Guzheng Instrument Class with Guest Speaker Ms. Yang Li M
s.Yang Li, the famous Guzheng performer and personal Guzheng teacher of HRH Princess Chulabhorn, gave a special virtual lecture to our G8 music class on November 12th. She introduced the history of Guzheng instrument, explained the different playing styles and their local cultural backgrounds and characteristics, and performed three typical Guzheng songs: 高山流水 Lofty Mountains and Flowing Water, 汉 宫秋月 Autumn Moon Over Han Palace, and 春 江花月夜 A Moonlit Night on the Spring River. During her demonstration, she would pause at certain sections to explain the scenes and their emotions. Students were able to form imagination in their minds and understand the songs and this traditional Chinese instrument in depth. Thanks to Ms.Yang Li, Mr. Young, and Ms. Min for giving students such a wonderful transdisciplinary learning experience. Ms. Vanni
