Description of Our Community: Changhua County has a long history. When it holds large and small temples celebrations or welcomes blessing tours, we can hear the performance of traditional music. Changhua City Office established CCCO in 2004, which provided the opportunities for several elementary schools of the county to form Chinese orchestra clubs and for students to learn traditional music. Community and elderly colleges also offer courses of traditional music for the public. It can be seen that traditional music is integrated in the life of the citizens of Changhua.

Project Description: After several discussions, we decided to set CCCO as our research subject, interview its members, appreciate traditional music performance, and recognize the musical instruments. We then designed several questionnaires related to traditional music and asked the students of five elementary schools which have Chinese orchestra clubs, namely, Changhua County Chung Shan Elementary School, Ding Fan Elementary School, Hai Pu Elementary School, Jing Siou Elementary School, and Yong Jing Elementary School, to fill them out. We distributed the questionnaires to 376 students and collected 255 valid pieces for analysis.
