A PART OF MY LIFE – MUSIC

Dan Tinh - Then Singing
Dan Tinh - Then Singing
The music encourages ethnic people who gather around the fire every night after a hard working day in the fields to sing together traditional Then songs.It is really a beautiful image to see Tay girls and boys in traditional clothes singing with high and clear voices amid the imposing scene of mountains and forests.

At a time when Then singing artists are getting older and not many young people show their love for the tradition, it is necessary to diversify methods to preserve the singing.

Apart from collection and restoration of traditional Then songs, relevant agencies should pay special attention to Then singing artists, who can impart both Then singing skills and their passion for the art to younger generations.
I would suggest the establishment of Then singing clubs and including the art form to the school curriculum. It should be further promoted on mass media, helping young people understand about the nation’s art heritage and raise their responsibility for preserving and developing it.

The piano - A reflection of my inner self
The piano - A reflection  of my inner self

The enchanting resonance of a piano never fails to capture my senses, imparting a profound sense of tranquility and serenity to my soul. More than just a musical instrument that aids in stress relief and relaxation, the piano serves as a source of inspiration, leaving me feeling refreshed and optimistic.

Music, in its essence, often acts as a panacea, bestowing inner peace and calm upon one’s spirit. For me, it’s an exquisite elixir that soothes moments of tension and brings solace to my soul. My connection with the piano is deeply ingrained, and I find myself turning to it during moments of leisure, in times of melancholy, and even when my spirits are high. The presence of music never fails to illuminate and enrich the day, making it more vibrant and beautiful.

With a profound appreciation for music, I embarked on my piano journey from a tender age, and by the time I reached the 7th grade, I had proudly achieved the remarkable feat of completing the Grade 6/8 program offered by Trinity College. This musical journey continues to be a significant part of my life, offering a continual source of joy and inspiration.
