Known for its soft and melodious sound, it is played by plucking strings and remains a symbol of Chinese music with growing global recognition. Objective: (1) To study the technique of playing advanced Guzheng. (2) To construct the advanced Guzheng Guidebook. (3) To experiment teaching by using advanced Guzheng Guidebook. (4) To find out the advanced Guzheng Guidebook. Method: This mixed-methods study involved interviews with experts and a teaching experiment using an advanced Guzheng guidebook with 16 fourth-year music students. Learning outcomes were assessed through formative and summative tests.
Results: The use of the advanced Guzheng guidebook with 16 fourth-year students proved effective in enhancing both technical skills and musical expression. Post-test scores increased by an average of 24.8% compared to pre-test scores, indicating the guidebook’s suitability for instructional use. Conclusion: The study indicates that fourth-year students showed significant improvement in Guzheng performance skills after instruction using the Advanced Guzheng Guidebook, which is specifically designed for their level. The guidebook effectively enhanced both technical proficiency and musical expressiveness. These findings suggest the potential for adopting the Advanced Guzheng Guidebook in other educational institutions or individual learning contexts.
