Character experience

Mr. Chen Xionghua, an erhu performer, played the Viola for four years during the cultural revolution because the orchestra wanted to perform the revolutionary model opera. This has a lot to do with his later erhu skills, which are integrated into many violin bowing and fingering techniques.

The secret of the piano

Many friends asked him: what's the secret of your piano learning? In a lecture, Mr. Chen Xionghua talked about the road he had taken to learn the piano. Looking back on his experience of learning the piano, he summed up two sentences: "hardworking, open-minded and eager to learn.". "Hard work" means having amazing perseverance, practicing hard and skillfully, enduring poverty and loneliness. "Be open-minded and studious" means to learn from all kinds of schools, to firmly believe that "if three people walk, there must be our teachers". At the same time, we must keep on learning so that we can develop and innovate, and the life of art will remain young forever. I think: bows and strings are interlinked. If we can have this spirit in learning violin, we will certainly learn it well. If adults can learn piano by taking Mr. Chen Xionghua as an example, we will certainly learn it well.
