On March 25, the Hoa Lu District Culture, Sports and Broadcasting Center held the opening ceremony of a training course to teach Cheo singing, Xam singing, Van singing and improve the skills of using traditional musical instruments for art clubs, teams and groups in the district.

Currently, in Hoa Lu district, there are 189 cultural and sports clubs in villages and hamlets. However, the number of members in these cultural clubs who know how to sing Cheo, Xam, Van and use traditional musical instruments is still modest.

The training course had over 70 students who were performing arts cores currently active in clubs, teams, and art groups in villages and hamlets, as well as vocal teachers and teachers passionate about traditional art of singing Cheo and Xam in schools in the district.

During the 10 days, students were trained by artists, artisans, and musicians, taught ancient Cheo and Xam melodies, basic knowledge of Cheo, Xam, Van singing skills, and the use of traditional musical instruments.

Through the training course, it aims to contribute to preserving and promoting the value of traditional art forms in the district.
