A.I.R
The Artist-in-Resident program allows Dr. Qian to offer elite training sessions on campus with selected schools via masterclasses and individual coaching. As part of the CSRA mission to serve the community, the students, as the entire section, are given opportunities to receive fundamental training sections from Dr. Qian with knowledge, skills, and inspiration in their own schools. The goal is to help students reach their personal music goals and prepare their state solo and ensemble music more efficiently, technically, and musically.
