The dulcimer is an indispensable instrument in the traditional Chinese instrumental family. It is also the only global instrument among Chinese musical instruments.

 

Chinese drum music is a symbol of the long cultural history of the Chinese nation and a symbol of joy and celebration. It can also strengthen the body, acting as a form of exercise, aiding in stress relief for the body.

All interested parties are welcome to participate, regardless of age!
