Guqin Certification Examinations
The Chinese Guqin Association, in Taipei Taiwan, holds Guqin certification examinations in the spring and autumn every year. This examination is designed to encourage qin practitioners to improve their skills and to give qualifications for Guqin teachers and associate teachers as lecturers. Multiple scores will be made according to the disciplines (form, quality, artistic skill, and the Dao). The subjects (theories of knowledge and research results), and the overall performance will be used to objectively assess the candidates’ learning achievements. This is the current standard for the Qin cultural professional certification. In order to encourage students to improve their skills, the association offers discounts on registration fees for the first and second levels for school students. For Qin friends from all over the world, we welcome you to sign up and participate.
