‘The bizarre and the beautiful - Chinese Folk Music’
Mandarin teacher, Miss Miao Wang, and Charterhouse pupils embarked on a wonderful musical journey entitled ‘The bizarre and the beautiful - Chinese Folk Music’.
Miss Wang introduced different types of Chinese musical instruments such as erhu - the ancient Chinese ‘violin’ as well as classical Chinese folk songs including Jasmine and Butterfly Lovers. She also taught the pupils to understand the basics of the Chinese music and folk songs.
This event is part of series activities exploring the diverse aspects of Chinese culture. Pupils at Charterhouse have had the opportunity to experience Chinese calligraphy, traditional water painting and paper-cutting.
