Q: Anyone know where I can learn to play 'guqin' in Beijing?

Maybe if the teacher can speak English or French, it would be better! But even only in Chinese is good.

I would perhaps check out the Beijing Central Conservatory of Music to see if they offer guqin courses: http://www.ccom.edu.cn/news/

If the Beijing Central Conservatory of Music doesn't offer guqin courses than you can try the alternative which is to place an ad on one of these sites. I have seen people playing the guqin that don't teach at one of these fancy centers, however they could teach you like a private tutor does. It would be cheaper for you as well and you can have more one on one time. Just place an ad that you are searching for a private music instructor to learn how to play guqin. You know musicians don't have a lot of options so I'm sure someone will respond to you with that opportunity you have presented to them.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
