Teachers' Remarks III｜ZHANG Boyu: Strive to improve your cognitive level, creativity, and expression ability
Strive to improve your cognitive level, creativity, and expression ability. — ZHANG Boyu
For the "Teachers' Remarks III" interview series, we invited faculty members from various divisions of the School of Music, CUHK-Shenzhen. These are individuals with outstanding achievements and rich experiences in the music field, who not only engage in performance and guidance as their professional work but also serve as role models for students through their personal charm and musical talent. In the "Teachers' Remarks III" interview series, students will take on the role of interviewers, engaging in in-depth conversations with our faculties. Through their heartfelt words and wisdom, we hope to provide more enlightenment and guidance to the students, helping them navigate the vast ocean of music to find their own direction and goals.
University is a vibrant and wonderful time of life, where as young people, we must ensure we have two essentials: a healthy mind and a fit body. With these as our cornerstones, we should also strive to improve our cognitive level, creativity, and expression ability throughout our journey at this university. We should eagerly absorb knowledge, broaden our perspectives, and elevate our understanding, paving the way for a future filled with endless possibilities. By channeling our creativity, we can transform what we learn into something that benefits society and the public, thereby living up to the responsibilities and mission of our generation. Let’s collectively craft a rich and meaningful chapter in our university lives, leaving a lasting imprint on our youth.
In this issue, we invited ZHANG Boyu, Professor of Musicology at the School of Music, CUHK-Shenzhen. Let's hear from Professor ZHANG Boyu from the Musicology Division and see what views he has on "Upon entering the campus, how should young people set sail on their vibrant university life, and what kind of responsibilities and roles will they carry?" In addition, Professor ZHANG introduces us to the "least popular" major in the School of Music — Musicology. He will discuss "What is Musicology?" and "What challenges does traditional Chinese music face in the modern era?" Let's find out together!
