Training courses
Learning the Chinese Yangqin is not only an artistic accomplishment, but also promotes the all-round development of students. The specific benefits include:
1. Improve concentration and patience
Playing the yangqin requires coordination of both hands, eyes to read the score, ears to distinguish sounds, and the brain to react quickly. Long-term practice can significantly improve concentration. Learning complex rhythms and melodies requires patience and perseverance.
2. Promote brain development and hand-eye coordination
Yangqin playing involves independent operation of the left and right hands (such as alternating high and low ranges), which can enhance the balanced development of the left and right brain. Precision training in striking the strings can improve the ability to control fine movements of the hands.
3. Enhance musical literacy and cultural identity
Yangqin is a traditional Chinese musical instrument. During the learning process, one can be exposed to traditional culture such as folk music and Cantonese music, which helps enhance cultural confidence. Cultivate teamwork skills through ensembles (such as school Chinese orchestra).
4. Relieve stress and manage emotions
Music can regulate emotions, help students relieve academic pressure and improve psychological resilience. The sense of accomplishment when playing can enhance self-confidence, which has a positive impact especially on introverted children.
5. Advantages in further studies and extracurricular activities
Hong Kong schools attach great importance to diversified development. Mastering the yangqin can help students participate in inter-school music festivals and orchestra performances, thus enriching their personal resumes. Some secondary schools and universities will consider students' musical talents when admitting students.
