Art Bootcamp Bonding Parents and Kids
As the highlight of the event, our art bootcamp has attracted over 10000 people, covering music, theater, dance and other cultural and art categories.

The relationship between parents and kids is stressed in our art bootcamp, which is quite different from most art training courses or workshops. We emphasize the interactions between parents and kids in almost every parts, such as theatrical performance workshop, intros to classical music, Classical 947 Children’s Multimedia Music Lessons, Classical 947 Harmonica Lessons, Children’s Song workshop, etc.

In theatrical performance workshop, parents and kids learnt the born of the theater together. They talked about performance tricks and even some deep thoughts.
Some parents said they saw their kids expressed another character in this process, making them understand their kids more. Children also got the opportunity to share the joy of art with their parents. Some kids tended to be more outgoing after the bootcamp. They were willing to present themselves on stage after a series of interactions and activities. You can find that art can indeed open one’s mind

The art experience of Chenshan Natural Festival focused on experiencing and feeling instead of teaching. Families participated the events together. Some grown-ups had lots fun on-site.
Our event planners made tons of researched to innovate and optimize. Classical 947 applied total process management in this event. Our team collaborated closely with other partners to evaluate and adjust multiple times so that we could present better experience even it took more efforts.
We got many thank notes in Classical 947 official wechat and we felt great that you appreciated Chenshan Life Festival and you had a wonderful holiday.

Excellent Performances on Every Stage
Floral Stage was still the main stage this year. Student from Classical 947 Harmonica Bootcamp performed on Floral Stage.

Classical 947 Harmonica Bootcamp began in August in Radio Mansion. Different aged students had been learning harmonica for 2 months. They became familiar with the instrument under the great instructions.
