He Yue Zhai Guqin Music Center to open in Singapore

Another guqin music center is opening in Singapore's Sims Avenue area, headed by Mr. Zhong Zhiyue (https://www.facebook.com/zhong.zhiyue). This is good news for the guqin music educational environment in Singapore. Congratulations to them! *smile*

The other 3 guqin maestros teaching in Singapore are: Mr. John Thompson (www.silkqin.com) located just opposite near Sommerset mrt station, and Mr. and Mrs. Kee Ji Koon in the Tampines area.

For more info about Mr. Zhong Zhiyue's guqin school, please goto their facebook webpage at https://www.facebook.com/heyuezhaiguqin/

If you wish to attend their opening ceremony on Wednesday, October 9 at 7:00pm, you can register at their facebook webpage at https://www.facebook.com/events/633159416704134/

Alas, I won't be able to attend their opening ceremony as I will be working on that particular Wednesday night. Too bad for me. hahaha

This may mean that old guqin tunes should also be sung in Ancient Chinese in order to experience its original flavor. haha *smile*
