Music in Early Chinese Society
Discover how music shaped life in early China—and how you can bring that story into your own classroom. This webinar will provide background knowledge and practical strategies to help educators bring materials about early Chinese music into their classrooms. Participants will explore three key ideas: that ideas of music vary widely across human societies, that music can be studied even without access to recordings, and that music in early China was deeply tied to ritual and politics. Alongside this content, Chi will lead participants through a discussion about adaptable classroom strategies, such as analyzing images of ancient instruments, listening to reconstructed sounds, and comparing ancient and modern ideas of music, that can spark curiosity and discussion among your students.
