FAQ
About this course
What age can I start erhu?
Around age 6 is a good start; adult beginners are welcome. Lessons begin with bow hold, intonation and simple folk tunes.
Which exams can I take on erhu?
Central Conservatory Grades 1–9 or other recognised Chinese-instrument syllabuses. Playing for enjoyment and ensemble is fine without exams.
Can I learn without owning an erhu?
Yes — use a school instrument in class. Advisors can recommend a starter erhu and basic care if you want to practise at home.
Can complete beginners join?
Yes. Every course has a beginner track; your teacher sets the starting point from the trial assessment.
How long and how often are lessons?
Usually 45 or 60 minutes once a week; exam sprints or adult intensives can be more frequent.
Do I need my own instrument?
Lessons use our instruments. Ask an advisor about rental or purchase options for home practice.
How much do lessons cost?
Fees depend on the instrument, level and lesson length (45 or 60 minutes). After a trial, an advisor gives a clear quote with no hidden fees; monthly or package options are available.
Which campus offers this course? Can I switch?
Rua da Barca, Fai Chi Kei and Rua do Campo share the same syllabus. Most instruments and art can be taken at the nearest campus or transferred; progress follows the student. Online piano can be taken at home.
