Teaching Penghu’s musical talent – Beautiful music surrounding Chrysanthemum Island

Boasting breathtaking scenery, Penghu attracts huge numbers of tourists to its shores each year. However, students studying in these outlying areas are faced with a shortage of both teachers and teaching resources. Fortunately, when the Tainan based Hongqiao Missionary Association (虹橋傳道會) witnessed the situation in these far-flung islands, it decided to embark on a journey to provide assistance in fostering musical talent.

The association’s journey began in Niaoyu (鳥嶼), where students were given instruction in playing the ukulele, opening up even more musical opportunities for students on these remote islands. The musical instruction has not only allowed students to gain self-confidence through performances and learn a deeper appreciation of music, but also transformed Penghu into a place simply brimming with music.
