Features: The erhu is a national musical instrument loved by the masses, but truly mastering it is not easy, especially in the initial stages. Through long-term teaching practice, the author has found that the erhu, due to the constraints of traditional teaching materials and methods, can easily make students feel bored and even hinder their progress. By combining erhu techniques with familiar melodies, learners can easily accept and master them. The deeper, more intricate, and complex technical theories in professional skills are simplified to make them easier to learn and understand, achieving twice the result with half the effort. This is the purpose behind writing this book. The book is divided into several parts based on different forms of erhu performance techniques. Popular songs are categorized according to their musical characteristics and matched with corresponding erhu techniques, making them vivid, clear, and easy to understand. This allows students to integrate erhu techniques while playing song melodies, changing the monotonous and repetitive teaching and learning models. As a result, the time required to learn techniques is significantly reduced. If this book can help readers achieve the effects mentioned above in learning the erhu, it will be the author's greatest joy.
