In Quang Ninh, training courses were already taking place that deal with methods and skills for the establishment of folk singing and dance clubs. These training courses are a central part of the plan to promote community cultural activities and to strengthen cultural values ​​through sustainable tourism.

In addition, the value of the intangible cultural heritage "Don Ca Tai Tu" was emphasized in approx. This musical art form is not only a source of pride, but also an essential part of the cultural heritage of southern Vietnam, which reflects the way of life and culture in the Mekong Delta, like UNESCO.ORG explained.

variety and meaning of "Don Ca Tai Tu"

"Don Ca Tai Tu" combines folklore and science and is listed on various occasions such as festivals and rituals. The performances stand out through improvisation and creative variation of the melodies and rhythms. The music is accompanied with traditional instruments such as the moon-shaped sounds, the two-string violin and the sixteen-string zither.

The training of musicians takes place over at least three years in which they learn basic instrumental techniques and develop traditional songs as well as improvisation with various decoration techniques. This approach ensures that cultural knowledge is passed on to the next generation through oral tradition and direct imitation of masters in the field of traditional music.
