All About Guzheng/Pipa

Poonie:
It's been about 4 months since I started this forum. Let me update you on what has happened since. Finally I enrolled my 2 girls in guzheng lessons at a CC and they started their 1st lesson last Sunday. After the lesson, they commented that guzheng is easier than piano. After the 10 lessons I would probably like to get them a private tutor as I find it a hassle packing up the instruments for 2 children at the end of the lesson. Does anyone have any good recommendations for private teacher? Someone has quoted me $50 per 45 mins. Is that too expensive
On piano, my girls are still continuing but I am thinking of getting a new teacher who have different teaching methods. Has anyone heard of Prelude Music at Novena? Some feedback will be much appreciated.
Hi!
I know it's beeen a long time since you added this post. I'm Regina. I am currently waiting for the release of my GCE olevel results. I have been learning guzheng since I was in Primary 2,that will be about 9 years. I am a certified grade 8 'guzhengist' from Artstrophere. I am currently teaching guzheng in 2 Primary schools and I was the President of my secondary school's guzheng ensemble this year, in which we achieved Gold with Honours for SYF 2009. Though I may be less experienced than those professional guzheng instructor, I am confident to give in my best, just like how I had coach my younger sister for her guzheng grading examinations, that she achieved distinction for grade 4 last year, and a high merit for grade 6 this year. If you are still interested. I teach private guzheng lessons at reasonable prices, $20-$28 per hour, depending on the grade.(the lower the grade, the cheaper it is)
In addition, I also offer services such as the changing of broken guzheng strings and the tuning of guzheng. So if you do need help in these, do approach me.
Hope to hear from you!

Hi!
Glad to receive your reply!
Yes, I learnt from Mr Thum from Secondary one. I had private lessons at Artstratosphere since then and just stopped my lessons at the start of the year. I am not from PLMGS. I'm from Xinmin Secondary School. Hope to hear from you.

Hi,
I know it wont be fair for me to say which is easier to learn since I've never tried yangqing before, so cant make a comparison... I think both instruments should be easy enough. One of my student is even a five year old, so no worries, at least I can tell you guzheng is easy, even a five year old can understand this traditional instrument^^
cheers

for K2 kid, where to learn yang qin ? apparently cc only conduct guzheng, not yang qin.

I am not sure whether the yangqin is a suitable instrument for kids to learn to play as a first musical instrument. There are lots of strings (144!) to maintain and unless you are very musically inclined and do not mind tuning the strings on a regular basis. You will need to tune the guzheng strings too but I guess 21 strings will be a lot less hassle!

May I know if anyone has kids playing both chinese and western instruments?
