The T'rưng is a unique traditional percussion instrument of the Central Highlands, closely associated with festivals and community life of ethnic minority groups. At Vo Thi Sau Primary School, music lessons become more engaging as students have direct access to and practice with this instrument.
In front of the communal house in the schoolyard, Ms. H Toănh, a teacher from the Bahnar ethnic minority, introduces the structure and playing of the T'rưng instrument, guiding students step-by-step from how to stand and hold the stick to the playing technique. Currently, over 98% of the students are from ethnic minority groups. Teaching the T'rưng is integrated into the music curriculum and has been maintained for over two years, with one lesson per class per week. According to the teaching plan, students in grades 1 and 2 learn the basics, while from grades 3 to 5 they practice playing the instrument.
The principal of Vo Thi Sau Primary School, Ms. Tran Thi Que Tram, said that the school has a team of music teachers and the agreement and support of parents in incorporating this content into the curriculum because it helps children love music more and understand their national culture more deeply.
Not just focusing on theory, many students expressed their enthusiasm for hands-on experience. A Rô Bin said, "During music lessons, we get to experience playing the T'rưng instrument, which is quite interesting and fun." Y Ha Ni added that learning to play the instrument, from low notes to high notes, is initially difficult but very enjoyable as you continue practicing along with the melody.
This is one of the concrete and practical ways for students to access and appreciate traditional cultural heritage right in the school. Introducing the T'rưng instrument into the curriculum not only helps students love music more but also contributes to preserving and spreading the cultural values of ethnic minorities in the community.
