Their teacher is a Chinese, Liu Lu.

She brought Chinese musical instruments such as pipa to western music academies and trained the first batch of music education graduates majoring in pipa for the Sydney Conservatory of Music

Liu Lu started learning Pipa at the age of six. With her excellent Pipa playing skills, she studied at Shenyang Conservatory of Music and Central Conservatory of Music.

In 1999, in order to expand her artistic path, Liu Lu went to Australia to continue her studies. However, the Sydney Conservatory of Music at that time did not have a major in Chinese folk music. Liu Lu could only give up the major of performance, but she did not give up. The pipa is a very small musical instrument, so Liu Lu has done a lot of performances. She first promotes it from the local Chinese community, and then actively promotes it to the local mainstream society through the Chinese.

In 2012, Liu Lu studied for a doctorate at the Sydney Conservatory of Music. In his spare time, he also taught a Chinese high school student. This high school student has also practiced pipa for many years and also wanted to study at the Sydney Conservatory of Music. Liu Lu took this opportunity to suggest to the college to add pipa performances The course has received a lot of opposition.

In 2016, the Sydney Conservatory of Music established the "Chinese Orchestra" and "Chinese Orchestra" as an elective course open to all students in the school, but most of the students have not been exposed to Chinese folk music. If you want students to understand and quickly understand Liu Lu It is necessary to find a suitable teaching method.

With the continuous promotion of Liu Lu, more local people in Sydney love Pipa. In 2017, Liu Lu walked out of the campus and established the Australian Pipa Research Association.

Whether in a concert hall or in an outdoor park, Liu Lu will take members to perform. Let more people know Chinese music and let more people like Chinese musical instruments.
