I think it's a good idea to listen to traditional and modern Chinese music, especially some classical pieces. It leads to a better understanding of Chinese music. The second activity, sharing the stories of Chinese musician, may help you to know about their music better. There are many excellent Chinese singers whose life stories are interesting. It's fun to sing a few songs of those famous singers too.
What's more, you can learn to play Chinese musical instruments like the erhu or the pipa. Playing them can be quite relaxing.
