Mission
Hello, my name is Mark Johnson (Chinese name: 張叔夜, Chang Shuye). I live to share my passion for traditional Chinese culture with others and to teach the amazing and mystical art of guqin.
Biography
I first encountered the guqin in 2016 at a store in Southern California. Despite my lack of musical background, I was immediately captivated. Within two weeks, I had researched and purchased my first guqin and found a teacher: Master Lui Pui-yuen. Four years of diligent practice later, Master Lui encouraged me to begin teaching the instrument to others. I have been performing and sharing my knowledge of the qin ever since.
Questions?
I am always open to talk about Chinese culture and the guqin, as well as to perform and teach.
