Erhu – Grades 2-5 (2:55)

The Erhu, a traditional Chinese musical instrument, is widely regarded as the quintessential symbol of Chinese music. With a rich history spanning over a thousand years, it holds a significant place in China’s cultural heritage. In the Tang Dynasty, it was referred to as “Xi Qin” by the ancient Chinese. The beauty of the Erhu lies in its unique ability to emulate the human voice, evoking profound emotional expressions. Initially, the Erhu was primarily used for performing folk music or accompanying operas. However, as time progressed, its versatility and enchanting qualities led to its integration as a solo instrument in bands and large ensembles. Dive into the world of Erhu, a mesmerizing two-stringed instrument, with our outstanding Erhu classes! The musical instruments were made possible by a grant from the Community Endowment of Lexington.
