China DailyJin Tielin poses for photo at an event in Hong Kong, in December, 2013. Jin Tielin, a well-known singer, vocal teacher and the former president of the China Conservatory of Music, died in hospital in Beijing on Nov 15. In August 1960, Jin came to Beijing to study singing at the Central Conservatory of Music with professor Shen Xiang, a renowned vocal educator. "I was in love with Peking Opera back then and it made me think about how to combine the unique singing style with the Western singing style, which I learned and performed as a soloist," Jin once said in an interview. From 1981 to 1985, Jin taught at the China Conservatory of Music and began to explore his own teaching methods in vocal music, especially Chinese-styled vocal music - combining the Western style of operatic singing and that of Chinese folk songs.
