ZHONGRUAN LESSONS
Congratulations on reaching this page if you are interested in learning the Zhongruan!
The Zhongruan is commonly referred to as the Chinese guitar because of how it sounds and the way it is being played.
Compared to the guitar, the zhongruan has a richer and more full bodied tone.
It is played with a pick and uses techniques like strumming, tremolo, slides and pull offs.
Traditionally used as an accompaniment instrument in the orchestra, it is standing out on its own with an increased repertoire of solo pieces as well as the emergence of virtuoso performers.
Let us instructors guide you on how to play this wonderful instrument called Zhongruan!
