Abstract
On Friday morning, May 30, 1986, my colleague Bennett Reimer and I visited the Chinese Traditional Music Department of the Shenyang Conservatory in northeast China. As team members of an arts education exchange program with the People's Republic of China, we had already spent nearly three months observing Chinese music education in nearly every possible setting, including kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools, normal (teachers) colleges, and universities; traditional opera schools, song and dance troupes, and conservatories. Today was special because we had been told that sometime during the morning we would be able to observe a yang-ch'in lesson. Introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the yang-ch'in is a dulcimer played with mallets and is a standard member of the traditional silk and bamboo ensemble.
