We did the DIY mouth whistle, attended the dizi workshop and got a free dizi!

The concert was very educational as well, very kid friendly and a good experience as the kids would usually get bored at normal concerts.
Turns out that my kid was enticed enough by the day’s experience, kept trying to play the dizi we got from the workshop, so we ended up sending him for dizi lessons at Eight Tones!
Hope for more kids concerts like these, I’m sure many parents can relate to kids not appreciating normal concerts and can’t sit still.

In recent years, there has been a gradual introduction of stave notation (towgay) into Chinese Orchestras in Singapore. Currently, orchestras such as the Singapore National Youth Chinese Orchestra, 精英华乐团, etc, have been using stave notations in their orchestras. Chinese instrumentalists studying in music conservatories also use stave notations despite playing chinese instruments.
Chinese is 新加坡青年华乐团.

SNYCO most of the score is using 五线谱. They do use 减谱 for some.

Hi all, glad to see this club set up. My girl is in P1 and going to learn a chinese instrument from next month. She has been learning piano for 2 years so still waiting to see if she will be taught 减谱 or stave notation. i suspect is the latter.

Yes, most primary school chinese orchestras use the 减谱, therefore they will be taught the numeric notation system. She should be able to pick it up with ease given her musical background. Good chance to learn something new!

She told me it depends on the type of instruments also. As early as the Tang period, there was the 《敦煌琵琶谱》 Dunhuang Pipa score (now in Paris National Library) and another 2 Tang scores in Kyoto and Toyko National Libraries: 《五弦谱》and《碣石调·幽兰》.
Ancient musical scores were classified info and only privy to musicians’ own family/inner circle (e.g. disciples), monasteries or imperial courts.
