To bring China's time-honored folk music tradition to larger audience, Bao said the school seeks a path of innovative inheritance and promotion of traditional music and culture.

"We've stepped into the academic field of artificial intelligence to help uphold the future of music education. Together with pioneers from the modern tech industry, we've created a 'Joint Lab of AI Music' to explore the integration of new technology and music education, and also to find a multi-dimensional innovation path for folk music education," Bao noted.
