Reply:Chinese music is great. I learn Chinese to enjoy the music. If you want to more about Chinese music, learning Chinese is almost must-be. Check the site http://www.hellomandarin.com. There you can learn Chinese face to face with the teachers or practice your Mandarin with the volunteers in Beijing.
