Taipei: Zheng Workshop Hanfu Guzheng Experience

Teacher is beautiful, so patient and helpful with students not only for Guzheng teaching but also for picture taking. We all learned a song today and have great experiences here, 3 people is max for a class. There are more than 5 styles of clothes can choose, if you have a foreign friend come to visit Taiwan, you can also suggest them to join this event, this will be a cool and unforgettable experience for them.

opposite Beitou MRT, easy to find. The teacher, ah Yah is a very sweet and gentle lady. She patiently helped me to pick my Hanfu and she give good recommendations too. Next, she guide me to select the suitable accessories for my costume (different accessories for different dynasty costumes), it’s fun. Last touch, a cute red tattoo on my forehead. Nice touch! After that we are into photo shoot with our own phone. She will guide us how to pose and smile. Very professional. After which, we are into learning the Guzhen. Ah yah is so patient from guiding us on how to attach the nails to our fingers to picking the strings and learning the cords. The process is simple and fun (even for anyone with no music background). She taught us a simple song. We practise and everyone managed to plan it on our own. Lastly, she helped to film us playing the Guzhen in our hanfu. Highly recommended. Such culture exchange experience and memory is precious and long lasting. Thank you Ah Yah! ㊗️😊

The instructor provides many beautiful clothing, wig, and accessory options, and even guides you on taking gorgeous photos! It's even better than I imagined a Hanfu experience would be! Plus, there are so many guzheng to choose from, and the instructor will select one that suits your look for the day. Most importantly, the instructor's teaching method is very simple and easy to understand, making it easy for beginners to get started! ♪(*^^)o∀*∀o(^^*)♪

充實的古風體驗👍 Pros: -Diverse clothing styles and accessible items with simple hairstyles. I received over a hundred photos with various poses and props. -Customized enrichment and relaxation experience with instrument learning levels. -Actually learn to play! The teacher provided clear, patient instruction and answered all my questions about music and culture. -The schedule was well-structured, including time for changing clothes, photography, Guzheng learning, and practice, all within an hour. Cons: -It’s a bit remote from the city center, though close to MRT Beitou Station. Consider visiting Yangmingshan or Tamsui for a 1 day trip.

Aya, the music instructor, gave us the most wonderful experience we could have hoped for! We never had a music lesson in our life and she coached us so well. When we arrived, we got to dress up in a hanfu. There were multiple hanfu’s from different dynastic era’s. After dressing up including hair accessories, a fan and a facial sticker, it was time for the photoshoot. We looked so lovely and she made a lot of pictures, telling us what pose we had to do. Now the music lesson started, we put on the “nails” and she explained there are 5 tones, do re mi so la. The middle of the 21 strings was the do string and the green ones the so strings. She had a lot of patience and made awesome videos. This money was absolutely worth it!!

Aya was wonderful! She was so nice and accommodating, and her advice with poses was great. We spent a while choosing outfits and taking photos, but she was patient and kind the whole time and happy to help us take more photos or do-overs of the performance. Her instruction for guzheng was also amazing. It was very clear and she managed to monitor all three of us making different mistakes very well. The clothes and the instruments were all beautiful, and this was definitely one of the best experiences I've had in Taiwan! I've wanted to play guzheng for years, so I might be biased, but my two friends had no prior interest and also had a lot of fun. Her English is also very good, so don't worry! I highly recommend this experience. Thank you again! 谢谢！

I had an absolultely amzing experience! This is my first time in Taiwan, and I don't really know the language, but the teacher communicated very well with me in English. She was very nice and patient, which made it very easy and comfortable to learn how to play the guzheng. She also suggested several poses and took wonderful photos and short videos before the workshop began. There are a bunch of different hanfus with varying styles from different dynasties to choose from as well. She also takes several videos of you playing the final piece, so you can choose which video you like best. Overall, it was unfergettable and worthwhile.

I had a lovely time learning how to play guzheng! My instructor was fantastic, very patient and kind. She taught me in a way that was easy to understand and provided tips throughout. She was also very helpful in choosing and dressing me in a gorgeous set of hanfu. I was surprised that even in such a short amount of time, with this fabulous instructor’s guidance, such a beautiful melody could be played. I recommend to anyone interested!

the instructor was extremely professional and helpful! She started with showing us the different outfits and what dynasty they were from. After the photoshoot, we started our lesson were we learned how to play a traditional song. She was very paitent and gave very clear instructions. Highly recommended!

I couldn't speak Chinese, so I spoke in English, but the teacher kindly explained things in English, so I had no trouble taking the class. Even though I wasn't good at English, I didn't have any trouble taking the class, which was nice! Above all, I like that you taught me about musical instruments in a very friendly and fun way. The names of the gye were easy to learn, and I learned them quickly and played Arirang. We went as a group of three, so we played together. It was even better because I was able to learn one traditional music piece in just one hour 👍. Even when experiencing traditional clothing, please carefully recommend clothing and do your hair. They took pictures and videos while we were playing, so it became a good memory 😀. It was easy to find the lecture location because it was visible right after getting off at Beitou Station! You have to go into the store to go up to the second floor, so you can meet the teacher at the store on the first floor and go up together.
