Girls learn Peking Opera.

I liked Peking Opera since I was a child, but I didn't have a chance to start learning it until I was 2 years old, similar to your situation.

Let me give you some suggestions:

1. Before you ask a teacher to learn Peking Opera, you should listen to a few paragraphs yourself, so that the teacher can guide you.

The most classic and basic passages are "The Woman Begins to Solve" in Yutangchun, "Everyone has a bright red heart" in "The Legend of the Red Lantern" and "The Island Ice Wheel Begins to Take off" in "The Drunk Lady". The first two paragraphs are not long, and the rhythm is moderate, which is an introductory selection.

2. If you want to learn formally, you'd better find a professional teacher to guide you. Enlightenment is very important.

You can ask about it in Beijing Opera circles, such as box office, troupe and drama school. This circle is actually very orthodox. If you learn blindly, you will not only waste time, ruin your voice, but also be laughed at.

I was very lucky. At the age of 2, I had the privilege of knowing a pair of retired Peking Opera veterans who used to be the head of the Peking Opera Theatre. It has been more than two years since I studied drama with two predecessors in my spare time. I feel that I have gained a lot, and I am confident to perform a performance when I need it in an occasion. Many of the senior artists in Beijing Opera are not only skilled, but also noble in personality, which can be described as both virtuous and artistic! What you can learn from them is not only Peking Opera, but also classical and elegant humanistic temperament.

So I'll give you these two suggestions, and I hope you will have a wonderful career!
