In the past Ju studied only Western music, and it was not until he came back to Taiwan that he came into contact with traditional percussion music. Besides learning Peking opera gong and drum music with "drum master" Hou You-tsung, Ju also pursued lion dance and Beiguan per cussion.
當年他所學習的全是西樂系統，學成歸國後開始接觸傳統打擊樂，除了跟隨「鼓王」侯佑宗學京戲鑼鼓，也涉獵醒獅鑼鼓和北管鑼鼓。
