Children Classical Guitar Recital

30 years ago, most parents in Myanmar were not enthusiastic about their children pursuing an interest in music -- particularly with the guitar. There was no such thing as an art school or a music school. Even today, we struggle to find a proper school for guitar. Today, things are changing, and we invite you to join us in embracing this change.

New Step to Myanmar Music – feat. Harp

The Myanmar Harp, called Saung Gauk in Burmese, is regarded as a national musical instrument of Myanmar. The black and vermilion body of the instrument is covered with gold leaf, and the tip of the instrument is decorated in boyan-leaf-shape. The Saung Gauk, which is so visually inspiring is commonly referred to as the "King of Musical Instruments" in Myanmar.
