Teaching traditional Cham musical instruments in Ham Tri

BTO-On the afternoon of April 19, the Provincial Museum held the opening ceremony of a class teaching traditional musical instruments of the Cham people in Ham Tri commune, Ham Thuan Bac district.

Dignitaries in Ham Tri commune attended the opening of the class.

Provincial Museum leaders, teaching artisans and students attended the opening ceremony.

The class is attended by 21 students from Lam Giang village, Ham Tri commune. During the 20 days (April 19 - May 10), students will receive knowledge and instructions on how to use musical instruments such as Ginang drum, Baranang drum, Saranai trumpet, gong to serve the dance rituals to worship gods and ancestors. In addition, students will also have the opportunity to conduct field surveys; be guided to integrate some other musical rhythms for comparison, and visualize the richness of the traditional musical instruments of the Cham people...

Currently, the number of people who know how to play traditional Cham musical instruments is very small.

Mr. Doan Van Thuan - Director of the Provincial Museum, said: The traditional musical instrument of the Cham people is a subject that is very difficult to convey, requiring participants to have musical talent and passion for this type. This is the first class in the Project "Preserving and promoting the fine traditional cultural values of ethnic minorities associated with tourism development" under the National Target Program on socio -economic development of ethnic minorities and mountainous areas in the period 2021-2030, opened in Ham Tri. Therefore, after the class, it is hoped that all students will master the skills, have concert pieces and continue to practice proficiently, contributing to the restoration, preservation and promotion of fine traditional cultural values of ethnic minorities to avoid the risk of fading away. At the same time, preserve and promote good identities, improve the level of cultural enjoyment associated with community tourism development.
