Practicing the music piece a hundred times and refine your soul between the strings. — LUO Xu

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.

"I believe that through dedication to music, we can keep our spiritual world pure, allowing our inner selves to settle and find peace in an increasingly restless society."

In this episode, we feature Mr. LUO Xu, Lecturer of Opera & Voice at the School of Music, CUHK-Shenzhen. Mr. LUO Xu first addresses how, in an era of rapid technological change, music can shape students' inner worlds—offering reflections that are both insightful and practical. He then shares the turning points that led him to vocal coaching and collaborative piano, and from that professional lens explains how he guides students in shaping a work. Finally, he outlines the essential preparation before collaboration and the key differences between collaborative performance and solo work. Join us for a candid conversation on practice and stagecraft.
