I’m Chih-Lin Chou, MTA Artistic Director & Guzheng Master with 30+ years on stage and in the classroom. As a certified music therapist, I teach injury-free Guzheng technique so you build beautiful tone without shoulder or wrist pain.

I’ve successfully guided many students in systematically preparing for and obtaining professional Guzheng certification from the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. My humanistic teaching approach is centered on uncovering your personal musical interests and emotional connection to sound, not mechanical routines.

Whether you aim to cultivate a lifelong hobby or pursue professional excellence, I am committed to helping every learner find their own voice through the strings of the Guzheng. My classroom is a safe and inspiring space where we explore the limitless charm of this instrument together.

My students say: “Finally learned without pain” and “Clear tone in week 1”.

All courses include practice assignments with personal Q&A feedback.

I look forward to meeting you in class and embarking on this unique musical journey together.
