PRESERVING THE VALUES OF VIETNAMESE TRADITIONAL MUSIC THROUGH SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATION

Abstract

Traditional music plays a crucial role in fostering aesthetic education among secondary school students. Schools bear the responsibility of educating students about the nation’s rich traditions, preserving regional cultural identities, and instilling in them a respectful attitude toward cultural heritage. This process gradually nurtures students' national pride and appreciation for the cultural values of their homeland. When students understand the beauty and depth of regional folk music, they contribute significantly to the preservation of the country’s traditional musical values. This article focuses on the role of traditional music in students’ education, examines the current state of its teaching and learning and proposes recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of traditional music education in secondary schools
