Guqin in Singapore
Guqin has been sidelined for the past three decades as it is not a part of the modern Chinese orchestra. However, in Singapore today, the Guqin has gotten more and more popular, thanks to the proliferation of Chinese period dramas and movies.
All our Guqin teachers are Singaporean, and hail from strong backgrounds in their own respective fields: Dr. Hoh holds a PhD in Music Composition, Dr. Khoo holds a PhD in Chinese History.
