    Chinese, not Japanese? Hate to tell her, but with masks and veils her expressions slip out through her music. I wanted to learn music, but my mom refused to teach me. She trained at Peabody and those SOB's told her she could only be a teacher. I found the step I could sneak on to hear her playing the piano and she cussed out loud like a sailor. Caught red handed, I suggested that mom was in tune with the writing of what she was trying to play. Never recorded in the musical notes.

    This young woman puts on an air of humility. But I think her veil is a facade and is unbecoming of her gifts and talent. Having something like a veil to cover and hide her face is a crutch that she leans on and depends upon too much. And insodoing, she is depriving her viewers and fans the pleasure of seeing her emotions that connects her to her music. Facial expression is every bit a part of any musicians performance and playing. Facial expressions are the language of connection to music. What does the veil do exactly? Well, it hides her expressions and her emotions. She says that she does it because she doesn't feel like she is a professional and is not entitled to show her face. However, and given the fact that she is now a successful musician in the professional music genre, this is no longer true. She has mastered that ages old instrument and makes it play the way that she wants it to sound. That is a rare gift and a hallmark of a true musician. I should know... I am musically gifted. I could sing well until I had a stroke 20+ years ago. I play musical instruments. I grew up singing in a church choir, played in my high school band. I am self-taught in most music instruments I play. I am an inventor of music, not a composer in that I do not read nor write music. I took Music Appreciation in High School and studied the arts of music schools. I learned a little bit about music theory and composition. Most of what I learned about music, I learned on my own because I had a yearning and desire to know. I know and can tell when someone is just performing, and when someone is a true musician. True musicians connect to their music in ways that most of the rest of this world do not understand. Playing music has a way of connecting to the heart, soul and the spirit of someone who genuinely loves music. And insodoing, it whisks the player or performer away from this world, and they become unaware of the world and the goings on around them. It's like the world just vanishes and they are no longer in this corporeal world. I know... I've been there many times in my life. When I watched this video, I could see this woman's spirit leaving and losing its connection with this world. Her eyes became solely focused on her playing and experiencing the music, and if only for a brief few moments, she was not with us. That is what it means to be a true musician. This is something that most professional musicians understands intimately, but is something that professional performers are completely unaware exists. This next part is for this beautiful young musician: Young lady, whether you know it or not, whether you want to admit it or not, you are a professional "Guzheng player." And the world, your audience and your admirers and viewers deserves to see your face as you perform. As the professional musician that you are, you do not need the veil. It is a crutch. It is stifling you, it is interfering with your creativity and your musical spirit and energy. Free yourself and lose the mask. Be the professional that the world already sees and knows you to be... Thank you for this beautiful video. You are great, but you can be so much more. I see your drive for perfection, I see your distaste and dissatisfaction with your performances. These too, are attributes and are the very hallmarks that marks you as a true musician, which I know you are. Never lose that about you, and you will exceed greatness. You are already great... but you can rise above it if you choose. Being the selfish man that I am, I hope and pray that you will rise above the greatness you already have, because I know you can...

    The mask suits the mysterious nature of the GuZheng. Also, I don't care if she wears a Giraffe on her head, it's the music that counts, and to focus on her dress sense is shallow.
