Piano has become a cultural brand in Shenzhen

The municipal party committee and the municipal government attach great importance to the cultivation of piano art talents and provide strong support from both material and spiritual levels. At present, the level of piano education in Shenzhen has become well-known at home and abroad in recent years, with a large number of piano playing talents and the piano popularity rate leading the country.

Shenzhen has cultivated world-class pianist Li Yundi, and has also emerged first-class piano talents such as Chen Sa, Zhang Haochen, Zuo Zhang, etc. who have won crowns in international competitions. Domestic master piano educators and performers Dan Zhaoyi, Kong Xiangdong, Liu Shikun, etc. all have piano teaching and training bases in Shenzhen. According to statistics, Shenzhen currently has 93,760 pianos, and 8.2% of residents’ families have pianos; there are 13,077 piano teachers; and 150,677 piano learners.

As the "King of Musical Instruments", the per capita ownership of pianos and the popularity of piano art are important indicators for judging the level of art and culture in a city. Shenzhen's piano ownership is outstanding among cities across the country. According to statistics, Shekou's per capita piano ownership exceeds that of Gulangyu, the nationally renowned "Piano Island". From the perspective of Guangdong, the province’s average number of pianos per 100 residents is 2.98, and Shenzhen’s is 8.2, ranking first in the province. Nationally speaking, the number of pianos per 100 residents in Beijing and Shanghai is 3.23 and 3.23 respectively. With 3.6 units, Shenzhen is in the leading position.
