Theme song from ‘The Story of Yanxi Palace’
A few weeks ago, an ex-student wrote to us asking if we can play the theme song 雪落下的聲音 (translates to ‘The Sound of Snow Falling’) from the Chinese TV drama 延禧攻略 ‘The Story of Yanxi Palace’. We have not heard it before, but we checked it out anyway. And we’re glad we did.
The appeal of the song lies in the poignant lyrics and enchanting melody. While it mainly uses the Chinese oriental pentatonic scale, there is a modern touch to the song, by way of current chord progressions and charismatic guitar arpeggios using open-chord voicings. We decided to work on an instrumental version of the song by combining both Chinese and western instruments such as Chinese flute, guzheng, guitar and piano.
We hope you like our rendition.

Student Showcase: Photograph | Ed Sheeran (Guitar & Vocal Cover)
Featuring our vocal student Kristen Png.
Student Showcase is something we have been wanting to do for a long time. We see this as a good avenue for students to share their talents, especially after months (or years!) of practising relentlessly, in search of musical perfection. Do not get us wrong. Student Showcase is never about musical perfection. In fact, music is NOT all about the perfection of executions. Down to the irreducible minimum, music is about communicating, conveying feelings and emotions. Let music speak for itself.
In this video, Kristen performs the popular Ed Sheeran song ‘Photograph’.
Winter Wonderland – Instrumental (Pianica, Piano, Bass)
Winter Wonderland is a Christmas classic written more than 80 years ago (in 1934!) by Felix Bernard and Richard B. Smith. We absolutely adore the beautiful modulations in the chorus.
We hope you like our rendition. Merry Christmas, folks!
