Music of China and Mongolia

2008-2009

Theme Fall 2006: Music of China and Mongolia

Our studio theme for fall 2006 takes us to Asia: the Music of China and Mongolia. We're lucky to have in our studio young pianists who were born in both countries and a teacher who traveled to China this summer. We will listen to and learn about traditional songs, fascinating instruments and talented musicians from these countries. We will also study the issue of Practice: how to be more effective, how much is enough.
