The second time, we ¡uknock-the-bamboo-clapper¡v was when the school hours of ¡uSpeak and Sing Art Club¡v has conflict with school hours of other clubs which some members attend. Also many members thought that school practice is too short to satisfy their needs. Therefore our members asked Mr. Lin, Wen-bin to teach us the skill of ¡uZhu-Ban-Kuai-Shu¡v after school. We then set up the club of ¡uZhu-Ban-Kuai-Shu¡v-¡uBamboo Clappers Good Friendliness¡v in the community, to continue promoting the art of bamboo clappers.
We attend class in the community center of Fu Sheng Neighborhood, which is located next to Puppetry Art Center of Taipei. In ¡uBamboo Clapper Good Friendliness¡v, we learned the basic clapper plays of ¡uSan-Kuai-Ban (Three-piece clappers)¡vand wonderful parts. In a casual occasion, we saw the wonderful performance of ¡uQi-Kuai-Ban (Seven-piece clappers)¡v by Mr. Lin, Wen-bin, and asked Mr. Lin to teach us ¡uQi-Kuai-Ban¡v. ¡uQi-Kuai-Ban¡v is more difficult than ¡uSan-Kuai-Ban¡v. Although more difficult to learn, ¡uQi-Kuai-Ban¡vleads us to understand the wonderful connotation of the traditional art of ¡uZhu-Ban-Kuai-Shu¡v. |
