Welcome to He Ye Zhai

Established in 2013, 龢樂斋 (pronounced as ‘He Yue Zhai’) is a leading Guqin music and arts centre that aims to bring people together to explore the wonders of traditional Chinese culture.

We are one of the largest Guqin training institutes in Singapore and have trained more than hundreds of students. In addition to Guqin, we also offer Dizi, Xiao, Weiqi and tea appreciation classes to enhance our students’ learning experience of Chinese culture.

Our centre actively champions the appreciation of traditional Chinese music and has collaborated with world renowned arts and cultural organisations to develop a growing love for Guqin in Singapore.

Amidst the hustle and bustle in our world today, we hope you will find time to visit us and begin a journey of self-discovery that is capable of bringing harmony and joy.

In June 2023, our branch 无名 (Wu Ming)  was set up.  Located at 26 Duxton Rd, the environment is elegant, you can play Guqin, appreciate tea, and do calligraphy leisurely.
Wu Ming offers one-to-one and one-to-two Guqin courses, taught by Amy Yao, our Senior Guqin Lecturer at He Yue Zhai Guqin Music and Arts Centre. Click here for more information about Wu Ming.
