“Music education can help spark a child’s imagination or ignite a lifetime of passion. When you provide a child with new worlds to explore and challenges to tackle, the possibilities are endless. Music education should not be a privilege for a lucky few, it should be a part of every child’s world of possiblity.” Zoe love to stimulate student’s creativity and imagination through the erhu !”(https://ratastudios.co.nz/individual-instrument-lessons/erhu-chinese-violin/)
