Yangqin Lessons

Are you looking for a Chinese instrument that is easy to pick up in your spare time? Try your hand at the yangqin, and you will find that producing a tone on it is just as easy as hitting a string with a bamboo stick. Yet, this apparently simple instrument is capable of a wide range of musical expression, and is versatile in its ability to play melodies, broken chords, arpeggios, or other running accompanimental figures. The clean and clear tone of the yangqin is pleasant and easy on the ear.

Featured Collaborations

Join a wide variety of yangqin lessons, ranging from individual lessons to group lessons. Our experienced teachers teach classical yangqin music as well as pop yangqin music.

What Is Yangqin?

A descendent of the Indo-European hammered dulcimer, the yangqin is an instrument with many strings stretched out over a large wooden resonator box and a series of bridges, played with two lightweight bamboo beaters striking the strings. The range of notes that the yangqin can play is one of the widest amongst Chinese instruments, ranging slightly over four octaves from the bass register to the high treble register, making it a versatile instrument able to play both melody as well as accompaniment. Moreover, the tuning of the yangqin is chromatic, enabling it to move freely between different keys, enhancing its versatility in playing a wide variety of music across different genres from traditional Chinese pieces to jazz standards.

Student Performance Opportunities & Exposure
