The erhu, or the Chinese violin, is an exciting addition to the private lessons offered by Two Bridges Music.
The two-stringed bowed instrument is particularly known for highlighting an individual’s emotional range. Given enough practice, the erhu can even mimic the tranquil songs of twittering animals. The erhu’s rich sound is embedded in Chinese history and is a welcome aspect of culture that Two Bridges Music aims to bring to the community.
Beginning this fall, Wei-Yang Andy Lin will be teaching private erhu lessons. Taiwanese-born violist and erhuist, Wei-Yang Andy Lin is recognized as one of the most promising and only active performers who specializes in both western and eastern instruments.
Andy has been developing his high level of skill ever since he started playing the erhu when he was a child. Now, he serves as the artistic director and co-founder of the New Asia Chamber Music Society. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the prestigious Juilliard School and his Doctor’s degree in Musical Arts from SUNY Stony Brook. He has won numerous competitions including Taiwan National Viola Competition and First Prize in the 2008 Juilliard Viola Concerto Competition.
Wei-Yang Andy Lin is an incredibly passionate performer excited to teach the youth about this Chinese classical instrument. Two Bridges Music is now accepting registrations for Fall 2018 Erhu lessons. Lessons will be taught on Tuesdays on a weekly basis and lesson time can be scheduled individually. To inquire about Erhu lessons and register for the Fall semester, please contact Two Bridges Music at (646) 355-8397 / music@twobridges.org
