Each moment of growth is a note — may you compose your own melody and begin a brilliant life journey. — Chao WANG

The Art Lighthouse Project returns with Teachers' Remarks V, a new season of inspiring conversations. This time, we sit down with faculty from across the School — performers, educators, and above all, mentors who guide with both mastery and heart. As students take the mic, dialogue unfolds between youth and experience, between curiosity and wisdom  — lighting the path for every dreamer on their musical journey.

"Art is a rare and special thing—it gives us a deeper, more stable center. When emotions run high, when you feel lost, when you face difficulties—music actually empowers you."

In this episode, we feature Dr. Chao WANG, Lecturer of Piano & Keyboard at the School of Music, CUHK-Shenzhen. Dr. Chao WANG reflects on how, amid rapid technological change, music can shape and nourish students' inner worlds. He traces his path from student to pianist with a distinctive personal voice, and recalls a teacher's remark that has stayed with him to this day. Dr. WANG closes with a warm message to students—an invitation to write their own score with passion and perseverance.
