YANGQIN LESSONS
The Yangqin is a trapezoid shaped instrument with hundreds of strings on it, 144 strings to be exact.
It is hammered with a pair of shaved bamboo sticks to produce a ringing tone hence is sometimes known as the hammered dulcimer.
The notes are chromatic, so generally you can play any kinds of music on it.Besides being a good accompaniment instrument for other instruments, the yangqin also has lots of exciting and nice sounding solo pieces.

What Our Students Say
It has been 3 years since I started learning Yangqin with Anson. He has a very high sense of responsiblity, taking time to slowly teach me. Although he is strict, I feel that it gives me the drive to push myself to learn better. Now, I can play some of my favourite songs on the Yangqin. Due to the nature of my work, I am unable to have a fixed day to have weekly lessons. For that, Anson is very flexible, as long as I let him know my monthly work schedule, we will be able to plan our lesson days. Thank you Anson and Eason Music!
