She also expressed her gratitude to her students from the Central Conservatory of Music, who volunteer to teach the children during the summer camp.

"It's particularly meaningful for children who have never played pipa to have an access to the ancient musical instrument through participating the summer camp. Some of the children even decided to take pipa as a professional career to pursue," Zhang said.

Besides pipa, the summer event also offers amateur art lovers with nine other mini summer camps centering on different art forms, such as Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, guzheng and percussion.
