Chipin & Kaiya's  Jazzsite: Welcome

 

Since 28.09.2000

    Welcome to Chipin & Kaiya's Jazzsite! This is the official site of  violinist Chi-pin Hsieh & pianist Kai-ya Chang, two jazz musicians  from Taiwan.

    We initiated this jazzsite in October 2000 while we were still  studying jazz in Brussels, Belgium (from 1996 to 2002), mainly focused on sharing our personal experience about jazz music, over eight years it had became the most in-depth jazz education website in the Chinese speaking world, along with our returned home in 2002 to start our career as professional jazz performers, composers & educators.

    Due to more and more transnational activities took place during the years, we decided to launch the pages in English internationally in the beginning of 2008, and the English jazzsite contains the following sections:

*For some of the readers who enjoyed our Jazz Transcription, Vocabulary & Theory pages in Chinese, we appreciate your accomplishments over the years, however, due to the limitation of time and manpower, we are not able to translate all those articles into English even in the near future, hope you still enjoy the score pages at least...

*The Solo Transcriptions, Chord Changes and Musical Example Illustrations in this non-for-profit website are merely for using in EDUCATIONAL purpose, as the authors of these artitcles who transcribed & edited them from the records by ourselves, we request you please DO NOT to spread them out and re-post casually, thank you !
