In today's class we talked about the instrumentation of a symphony orchestra and its string section. And looked a little bit further into violin and introduced an outstanding young Taiwanian-Australian violinist Ray Chen.

Teacher Dr. Lin's insightful comment in the class today:
- The primary purpose of arts classes is to give students a sensational training. (藝術課的主要目的即是在於給予學生一個『感覺的訓練』課程。) To help people developing a more brilliant and creative mind with clearer sensations.
