Andrey Danilov 袁安瑞 (https://www.andreydanilov.com/about)

Originally from Moscow. A graphic designer, photographer, movement enthusiast and musician, his fascination for Chinese culture is complemented by his affection for classic Americana and various forms of martial arts.

He began studying Guqin and calligraphy with Master Jung Ping Yuan in 2018. After periods of intense study and surviving an arduous examination, Andrey obtained a Qin Teaching Certificate in December 2019. He continues to learn and work with Master Jung Ping, for the love of Qin. 

Yuting Chao 趙鈺婷

Yuting wanted to learn the qin because she likes Chinese culture. From a Hanfu promotion lecture in 2015, She visited the Taipei Qin Hall and became a student of qin there. Later, she was fortunate to serve at the Taipei Qin Hall, and further learned the qin with Master Yuan Jung ping . Now she is a freelancer and a teaching assistant at the Taipei Qin Hall.

As the time of learning the piano grows, she gradually realize the principle of returning to the basics. It turns out that there are many laws of heaven and earth in the most basic timbre. She hopes that on the road of qin learning, she will have the opportunity to promote it to more people to know the guqin culture together, and move forward with you who are enthusiasts.

因喜中華文化而想學琴,從2015年一次漢服推廣講座起,遇見臺北琴道舘,進而成為古琴課的學生,後來因緣際會而有幸為琴舘服務、並與舘主 袁中平老師進一步習琴。現為自由工作者,同時也是臺北琴道舘助教。隨著習琴時間漸長,也逐漸體會返璞歸真之理,原來在最基本的音色中,就蘊含許多天地規律。希望在琴學的道路上,有機會推廣給更多人一起認識古琴文化,與愛好者的你們一起前行。
