What do you do in traditional Chinese music workshop?

Depend on age group. For younger children, we will focus on "hand-on-experience" and let children have a go on the selection of traditional instruments. We will normally bring over 20 traditional Chinese instruments to the classroom, such as Erhu (Chinese violin), Pipa (Chinese guitar), Guzheng (Chinese Harp), Yangqin (Chinese Piano), Dizi (Chinese bamboo flute), Sheng (Chinese mouth organ) and percussion etc. For more capable students, we can offer a programme of working together with the school orchestra and develop a piece of Chinese music just for the orchestra.

We may not have enough budget to finance workshops. Can you help?

We will try.

There are many ways to get financial support. For example, a joint application to the LEA or local goverment for funding to support your educational projects. In fact many of our projects are founded by arts council of England, Local goverment, and other bodies. We also have different discount schemes, please ask.
