Tue, Nov 3 · 6:00 PM EST
Benten Music Center, 292 Summer St, Buffalo, NY 14222, USA, Buffalo, NY, US
Complimentary fine teas by local company Dragon Girl Tea will be served while participants arrive, chat and get to know each other.

After everyone is ready, we will do the 6 Healing Sounds qigong practice, followed by some breathing and chanting exercises accompanied by live music on the 葫芦丝 (Hulusi, a mellow wind instrument) to relax and warm up.

A short poem and song 花非花 (Flower Not Flower) will be introduced for the Mandarin Chinese mini-lesson.

We will retire to the Music Room to enjoy a guided musical improvisation-exploration of traditional Chinese instruments such as 月琴 (Yueqin AKA 'Moon Guitar'), 三弦 (Sanxian, a 3 stringed banjo-like instrument), 琵琶 (Pipa AKA Chinese Lute), and assorted percussion. No previous music experience needed!
