Eight and a half months have passed since TAKUROMAN started playing the erhu. On May 18th, he participated in his first recital, performing two pieces. The first piece was "Bara wa Utsukushiku Chiru," the theme song from the anime "The Rose of Versailles," performed in an ensemble with Mr. Fukuda from Club Nage Music School. The second piece was "Sally Gardens," performed solo. It was his first time performing in a hall, and he was surprised by the acoustics. Thank you very much to everyone who attended and supported him. #ErhuBeginner #ErhuPerformance #Recital #InstrumentPractice #erhu #ErhuPlayer
