With the aim of inspiring and nurturing passion for ethnic minority musical instruments, artisans in the remote district of Tuong Duong, regardless of hardship, go to class every day to teach children free musical instruments during the summer.

For nearly a month now, three times a week, despite the intense heat, Mr. Vi Van Quynh, from Chan village, Thach Giam town (Tuong Duong) still goes to class to teach musical instruments to children during the summer days. Photo: Dinh Tuan

Mr. Quynh is nearly 70 years old this year, but his love for music, especially musical instruments, remains the same as when he was in his twenties. He shared: “I have been passionate about and known about traditional musical instruments since I was a child. For me, traditional musical instruments are ingrained in my blood. Whenever I have free time, I play music. Playing music helps me feel healthier and happier. Unfortunately, children nowadays are not interested in traditional cultural heritage. Knowing that the town's Youth Union organizes free musical instrument classes for children during the summer, I voluntarily registered to participate in teaching, with the sole purpose of inspiring and nurturing the passion for traditional musical instruments for children in my hometown."

In the free summer music class, in addition to Mr. Quynh, there are also Mr. Pan, Mr. Cuong, Mr. Long, Mr. Huynh... who work tirelessly every day to inspire and foster a passion for traditional musical instruments in children. Photo: Dinh Tuan

Living in Khe Ngau village, Xa Luong commune (Tuong Duong), to get to class, Mr. Luong Van Pan has to travel more than 10km, but he almost never misses a day. Mr. Pan shared: "The road to class is quite far, and the weather is hot and sunny, so traveling is quite difficult. But when I get to class, I see the children studying hard and passionate about traditional musical instruments, and all the fatigue disappears in an instant." Photo: Dinh Tuan

The artisans who teach are farmers, security guards, teachers or retired officials... Each person has a different job and different circumstances, but they have in common a love for the traditional culture of their nation and a desire to pass on to the younger generation the beauty of their national culture.

Although they have not been to any school or have any teaching experience, these artisans have devoted all their heart and responsibility to teaching children. Photo: Dinh Tuan

Chi Lo Thi Lan - Secretary of the Youth Union of Thach Giam town (Tuong Duong), the person in charge of the class, said: "Although the uncles and aunts are old, they are still very enthusiastic. When we raised the issue of opening a class, no one hesitated and immediately agreed to participate in teaching." Photo: Dinh Tuan
