    This is where the GuZheng was found! Chuen Ying Arts Centre teaches Art for children and Music for Children and Adults.  They specialize in GhuZheng and Chinese Flute teachings.  Mostly are done in Chinese, but I believe that they can also teach in English.  They have private tutoring classes as well in Chinese string and woodwind instruments.
    It's a husband and wife team.  Mrs Cheng, a beautiful woman and her husband are well known in the Chinese classical music industry in Canada.  They have a number of CD's of various music in their collection of performances.

    We were shown the $800 dollar GuZheng, but that wasn't what Mum wanted so Mrs Cheng brought our a few others to show.  When the final selection was made and the purchase done, she tuned the instrument,  offered the free stand and the free chair.  We didn't get the chair, but daughter will get it next time.  The ones that they had at the time were too small.

    There was a mumbling in the car of how expensive it was, but that it was more affordable than the other places.  The Daughter hopefully really likes it (which she did) and  that she'll take the lessons and learn it well.  If not, Mom will take lessons!

    The service was quite nice.  And after Daughters first class, she said that she enjoyed it.  
    Soon, the melodic tunes of the skillfull GuZheng student will fill the air in the house with music.

    A Rhapsody in progress.
