My first assignment for the paper will be to write about the different theatre forms of Vietnam. In Hanoi I bought some books that describe them a little bit, and there's also a great deal of information on the internet. Garland, Grove and various articles will be my next step. I will probably focus on Chéo, Tuong and possibly the water puppet theatre, since these are the once I have seen for myself. However there might be changes to this plan down the road.
I'll be back soon to post something concerning the content of the paper, rather than these small posts about what's going on in general.
Good night.
Ethnomusicology and music education
Welcome
On this blog I write about my research in Vietnamese music. It's not updated very regularly, mostly while I am doing field work in Vietnam, but may have some interesting information for other people interested in Vietnamese music nevertheless.
This blog started out as a way of documenting the final paper of my and my friend Olof Göthlin's teacher's degree from the Malmö Academy of Music in 2008. In 2009 me and another member of our Vietnamese ensemble (www.myspace.com/ojzaioj), Pia Qvarnström, stayed in Hanoi for three months, from 6/1 to 5/4 - 2009, and used the blog once again to write about our experiences of learning Vietnamese Chèo, Tuồng and Ca trù music. Pia also taught eurythmics to teachers at the Vietnamese National Academy of Music in Hanoi, her experiences of Hanoi and teaching can be read about on her blogs (http://vietrytmik.blogspot.com and http://vietpia.blogspot.com). Since 2010 I write the blog myself.
