CHICAGO, Sept. 18 -- Tens of musicians from China and the United States gathered on Monday at the Valparaiso University in the U.S. state of Indiana during a forum and shared their experiences in music.
At the Second Valpo Forum on Confucianism and International Music Exchange, musicians from the two countries talked about the impact music has produced on life and soul; music origin and evolution in respective countries; the role music plays in fostering harmony and promoting understanding and cooperation; their experiences in teaching Chinese instrumental music in U.S. high schools, and music tours in China; and suggestions for music education in China.
In a keynote speech, Han Mei, director of the Center for Chinese Music and Culture at the Middle Tennessee State University, talked about her experiences as a musician and music educator.
"I began to see my musical roots from a new perspective, and this greatly deepened my appreciation of Chinese music," she said.
Han expressed the hope that by learning Chinese music, "(American) students will be inspired to explore the world of music in all its facets, and to learn to speak of what is in their soul and in all our souls."
Jeff Doebler has been to China 13 times, and in 10 of the 13 tours he was with his Windiana Concert Band. He and his band have played in schools and communities in most parts of China. He made a speech at the forum about fostering global harmony, understanding and cooperation through music.
