The "Art Lighthouse Project" embarks on a new chapter, with esteemed faculties from across divisions joining this season's Teachers' Remarks IV interview series. This edition features distinguished faculty members who bring profound insights, accomplished backgrounds, and inspiring musical talent to the forefront of music education. Their words of wisdom and experiences will motivate students to explore the vast world of music and find their own direction.

"Learning music requires a wide range of skills, but for me, the most important one is curiosity. I'm always asking questions, and I've realized that even my teachers often can't provide the best or the 'right' answer. At those moments, we have conversations, and my teacher would say that learning music is more about asking questions than finding answers."
