Erhu – Waikato Community School of Music
“The Erhu – We are taking expressions of interest in learning the erhu, a traditional two-stringed bowed Chinese instrument. Contact Ann Shaffer at the office for details.
Zoe Li has been playing the erhu since she was 6 years old and has a wealth of musical experience. In 2008 Zoe was invited to play in the “Birds Nest” performance during the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games and received the gold award in the World Art Festival in 2016. Zoe has found a love for blues and jazz music also, and enrolled in the BA Commercial Music at Wintec in 2017.
The erhu is a very versatile instrument and is used in both traditional and contemporary music arrangements. It is also very beautiful!” (https://www.facebook.com/waikatocommunityschoolofmusic/photos/the-erhu-we-are-taking-expressions-of-interest-in-learning-the-erhu-a-traditiona/1545691658818021/ 23 March 2018)
