Music ! Music ! Music !
We continue to see increased attendance at Champay Academy of Arts. Particularly popular is the recent addition of music classes, giving children an opportunity to learn to play traditional Cambodian musical instrumets. Demand has been strong, particularly among the boys. A recent day say 5 children in the morning session and 13 in the afternoon group. Children learn about the instruments that are part of the tranditional Cambodian ensemble called the " pinpeat".
There are 5 kinds of musical instruments being used in the class:
On Friday's we also have the loan of stringed instruments to introduce to the students, which is very popular.
With more students than instruments, students watch the instruction of others while waiting their turn.
This introduction and access to traditional Cambodian music is just one of several things that we are doing to bring education and inspiration to Cambodian children while teaching them about their rich cultural heritage.
None of this is possible without the continued generous support of you our donors. Thank you.1
