Chinese musical instrument has been very popular among foreign students. Previous students have studied the Hulusi, which is an easy musical instrument of Dai minority. We also have had some students who were very interested in learning the Er Hu. You might be worried about its difficulty and whether you will have sufficient time to practice while you learn Chinese in China at Keats. One Australian girl Paige chose the Er Hu program.

The reason Paige chose to study Er Hu was because she was so attracted by the beautiful sound of Er Hu, which is considered to be a representative musical instrument in Chinese music history. She also attended a performance of Er Hu in Australia. She would like to use the time when learning Chinese in Kunming to learn and practice the Er Hu. She only spent 3 weeks at Keats and now she is able to play the Er Hu. Let’s hear about here experience at Keats.

Paige told us “Except learning Chinese at Keats for 3 weeks, be able to play the Er Hu is also one of my dreams. I really like Er Hu but I understand that it is a difficult instrument to learn. But I still want to give it a try. I study Er Hu for 2 hour each lesson, 2 lessons per week. To my surprise, I can almost play a complete song after my second lesson, which gave me much confidence in learning the Er Hu. My teacher is great and he knows exactly how to teach beginners by giving them easy and basic point to master the playing techniques. He is so professional. He can play out the song once I sing some notes.”
