Guitar virtuoso prepares to feed China's soul
China DailyGuitar virtuoso Yang Xuefei says her guitar helps get her through the challenges of lockdown. Since starting playing at the age of 7, after her parents thought learning a musical instrument was the best way to curb her excessive energy, she has gone on to perform in more than 50 countries, at venues including the Royal Albert Hall in London, Carnegie Hall in New York, and the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing. "My parents first thought about me playing the accordion, but my school music teacher was starting a guitar group so I joined without even knowing what a guitar was," she says. But none of the conservatoires in China had a guitar faculty then, so I had to attend the middle school attached to the central conservatoire as an unofficial student, and give up my offer of going to a better school which would have put me on the road to a good university and a good career, which my parents didn't like.
