Music

I play three kinds of instruments: piano, pipe organ, and Guqin (古琴). I have recorded videos of myself playing: they can be found on my bilibili account.

Piano

I started playing the piano at a young age, but I almost completely gave it up when I was 14. I'm glad to have picked it up again at Cornell with Prof. Miri Yampolski.

Pipe Organ

I am lucky to have been introduced to the organ by Prof. Annette Richards and Prof. David Yearsley at Cornell University. There, I began my organ career on the Anabel Taylor organ under the instruction of Prof. Richards and I gave my first recital there with several other students. After coming to Harvard, I study with Prof. Peter Sykes. I am heavily involved with organs at Harvard and the Harvard Organ Society. I'm also the recital coordinator for the Busch Midday Recital Series and I have been lucky to perform my first personal recital in Busch Hall.

Guqin (古琴)

Guqin is a plucked seven-string instrument. I started learning Guqin from Mr. Rong Li when I was thirteen. As its scores only contain fingerings without a lot of phrasing or rhythmic interpretations, players are required to use their own judgements. I have done some research and did my best to interpret two pieces, 潇湘水云 and 短清. I have recently been invited to give a lecture on Guqin tablature at the New England Conservatory; the slides can be found here.
