The Đàn bầu is a Vietnamese instrument. It belongs to the family of box zithers and has only one string. However, it offers a wide range of virtuosic playing techniques. The string is plucked with a pick, and its pitch can be adjusted by moving an elastic rod (string tension). This allows for various glissandos, as well as—by placing the palm of the hand on the string—wonderful harmonics.
For one semester, students had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of Vietnamese musical culture under the guidance of musician and composer Tam Thi Pham and to learn the basics of playing the Đàn bầu.

They will present their discoveries in a final concert.
