Learning Chinese instruments since age seven, he later studied guqin with Wu Ziying, a third generation Mei’an School player who had learned from such renowned 20th-century masters as Wang Jiru, Xu Lisun, Wu Jinglue, and Zha Fuxi. Prof. Yu founded the North America Mei’an Guqin Society in 2009 and served as its chair since then. He is especially committed to the spread of guqin music among non-Chinese speaking communities. He taught applied guqin at the Oakland University in 2009-12. His fingering-centered etude writing aims to systematize experience-based guqin education and his composition explores new possibilities rooted in the Chinese musical traditions. His recent guqin etude book has been praised as “a major offering of innovative scholarship for the most classical of Chinese instruments.” Prof. Yu has been invited for performance and lecture on qin music both in the US and internationally.
