Features: China is an ancient civilization with a long history, and its culture and art are profound and splendid. National musical instruments, a collection of the finest wisdom of the Chinese people over five thousand years, stand out in the world of art. The second category is string instruments with bows, which play a significant role in traditional Chinese music. In recent years, due to their gradual popularity among the public, they have gained the love of more people. This book selects some exercises from levels 1 to 10 of the national erhu examination, which basically cover some common techniques of the erhu. In addition to pointing out the key practice requirements, each exercise in the book also includes tips on the artistic intention of the piece. To facilitate the learning of erhu enthusiasts, a companion audiovisual disc recorded by Shanghai Literature and Art Audiovisual Publishing House has been released alongside this book, featuring demonstrations of all the pieces. This disc is divided into two parts: A and B. Disc A is a VCD demonstrating the performances, while Disc B is a CD. The content of Disc B is divided into two sections: 1 to 10 "Follow Me to Learn" serves as a guide for practicing in synchronization, helping you overcome difficulties in pitch and rhythm during self-practice. 11 to 30 "Karaoke" provides accompaniment music for all the pieces in the book, accompanied by a "band" to enhance the fun of practice, making it an enjoyable and educational experience while also cultivating your ability to collaborate with an orchestra.
