i might be joining the 2nd day of CNY (saturday?) at empire's house.

2nd or 3rd day also I ok.

Ahh, It would be nice to get to meet you Little Ice.

oh i think CNY 2nd day is friday. 2nd or 3rd is fine with me, you guys decide.

I think we make it the 3rd day if more could come. Otherwise there is no diff 2nd or 3rd.

3rd day is good too. Who else can come? Alvin..you in SS2 ma. So near my hse.

So, Empire go or no go? Time?

faceless...little ice and whoever can go. Yes...you are all welcome on the 3rd day. 12noon ok?

Empire,
CNY at your residence had been a great time. Sharing of music skills to deepen our friendship bond was fantastic. The bonus that comes with sharing skills was your ability to play more than 20 instruments. It like going to a instrument exhibition. Its better than seeing you in concert because I get to ask you all the questions this time and try out your array of instruments.

Little Ice,
Meeting up with you was a pleasure since we post the in the "Music" thread regularly. Thanks for the superb violin lesson Professor Ice.

Subang,
We missed for this session. We had the cake. I am not kidding, Empire baked the cake himself. If possible we should meet up again a Empire's place. It would depend on Empire off day (no show to do) and you being in KampungKUL. Perhaps we can put down some date here.

la Bella and Karenalvin, if we can manage another meeting I hope you guys can be around too.

Faceless...it was indeed a wonderful session with your fabulous stories about your Navy experience on the sea and rivers. Your wisdom in your words make me appreciate Chinese culture and Music even more! It's a good thing that you speak such fluent English...so that helped a great deal for me to understand even more....cos my Chinese dialects are nowhere as good.

I am glad you enjoyed my mini concert too...hehehe....with 'professor' Little Ice on the Violin. Now you know that Little Ice is anything but 'Little'! hehehe...

Subangman, Avin, La Bella. When you people going to my hse?

Hi I'm very interested to learn Gu Zheng. I've been trying to make some Gu Zheng sounds on my guitar for fun for a long time already but it cannot beat the real thing ~~ I have been learning classical guitar for 6-7 years, but mainly playing other genres (not talking about strum and sing -.-) and tried a bit of harmonica and piano.

Especially after I've discovered a huge Chinese Traditional Music competition by CCTV. Although sometimes they use traditional instrument to play western classical songs. They upload all content for free at huain.com and you can download any mp3 or video or music sheet for free. There is A LOT of things.

Seriously you must watch it if you've never heard of it. Besides playing a piece they have to improvise on a short video clip and play the background without any time to prepare.

Edit: Here's the full clip http://tv.huain.com/html/1785.html

Does anyone know any music centres or teachers in KL or Cheras or Serdang? And anyone want to sell their Gu Zheng? Can you give me some tips on buying GuZheng and choosing a good teacher (signs of a good teacher)

Thank you.

No problem, I am in.. I hope laBella and Karenalvin can make it too. The theme is chinese lah. So, wu-liang-ye is my preference. Mei mei coming? She must bring guzheng along if she is coming. I am going to bring mine, too. It is not really a CNY thingy. It is a CNY + jam session. As for you, just bring your sax.

Little Ice, your company will be missed. I was hoping for Part 2 violin lessons.

Good good!
