A composed performance
11-year-old Guo Zihao, another participant, performs a hip-hop song he wrote. That is songwriting," says Chen, who learned to play the piano as a child and mostly writes music for movies and TV dramas now. "Though we just had three days, they showed a great aptitude for music, which was beyond my expectation," says Chen. Chen also invited his musician friends, guitarist Guo Zhongmin, drummer Sun Rongkun, pianist Guo Xiaotian and bassist Zhang Guixin, to offer the children the experience of collaborating with a live band. Chen adds that for students majoring in composition, it usually takes two semesters to master skills and theory about songwriting.
