On November 19th, Ben Thanh Kindergarten and Nguyen Thai Hoc Primary School (Ben Thanh Ward) jointly organized a traditional music exchange festival. This was the first time these two high-quality, advanced schools integrated and connected, aiming to create a stepping stone for kindergarten children transitioning to first grade.

The performance by Nguyen Thai Hoc Primary School began with a lively drum rhythm, spreading joyful energy, followed by the engaging performance of "My Teacher is an E Ban Flower," featuring rhythmic illustrative playing on the traditional T'rưng instrument.

In particular, the game of guessing musical instruments such as the recorder, pianica, or Southern Vietnamese folk songs and traditional music was enthusiastically and passionately participated in by students from both schools.

Ms. Nguyen Thi My Phuong, Principal of Ben Thanh Kindergarten, shared that these exchange activities not only offer new and beneficial content, creating joy in learning, but also serve as a foundation for transitioning to the next level.

"The students have followed an advanced, integrated model, learning specific content of the curriculum. In first grade, they will continue to follow this model, so they can benefit from a high-quality program and easily become familiar with and access many extracurricular activities and interactions in elementary school," Ms. Phuong explained.
