Or you are interested in what is one of the most popular Chinese indigenous instruments? This book can help you not only to improve your Chinese language skills in a playful way via the Chinese bamboo clappers Kuaiban. It can also teach you how to play the instrument and can give you valuable information about the art scene from an industry insider.

Living and working in Beijing, China for more than ten years Rene Bernard is a performer of Chinese Kuaiban: In this popular Chinese oral story-telling art form a rhythm is created by bamboo clappers. On that rhythm the performer tells the story in rhymes.

Based on his story as the thread, Rene's book gives an introduction of the instrument, its playing technique and the show business industry in China. Another focus is the related Chinese-foreign exchange via Kuaiban as well as its advantages for learning Chinese.
