GUQIN LESSONS

Singapore

Looking for Guqin lessons in Singapore? You have come to the right place!

The Guqin is a 7-stringed zither. It is one of the oldest Chinese instruments, dating back to about 3000 years ago.

It was a popular instrument among ancient aristocratic Chinese scholars, who were expected to master it as one of the four great arts (along with calligraphy painting and chess).

The Guqin has a mellow tone, which reminds one of the sophistication and elegance akin to that of a Chinese ink landscape painting.

It was believed that learning the Guqin refined personalities and encouraged discipline in its learners.

Let our experienced instructors show you the proper way of the playing the Guqin!
