University of Macau Moon Chun Memorial College Music Appreciation workshop invited MCM College resident Chan Cheng as the speaker on Beethoven. As the giant amid the Classical and Romantic Period, Beethoven has lived and led a revolutionary life. His music revolutions include writing in traditional classical genres while expanded and lengthened the forms; using music as a tool to send serious humanity message, such as inner life and conflicts, making each work unique; he also expanded the orchestra and increased virtuosity in his compositions.

By the end of the workshop, audience were gathering around Chan, asking him more about Beethoven. The workshop has evolved from a simple presentation to a platform for peer learning, attracting more to get curious and engage in the process.

陳政分享了貝多芬的三個音樂時期和作曲變化，並附上不同選段的樂曲加以說明。工作坊結束時，同學都聚集在主講人身邊，向他詢問更多關於貝多芬的故事。 是次工作坊已從平常的演示演變為同儕學習的平台，令更多學生感到好奇並參與到音樂討論的過程中。
