On the Composition of Dra-nyen Music and Its Application in Talent Cultivation of Higher Education
To introduce Dra-nyen(sgra-snyan,a traditional Tibetan musical instrument)performance as a major or as a course into higher art institutions,in addition to qualified teachers,we also need two other key elements:textbooks and teaching references.Therefore,based on the collection and collation of traditional Dra-nyen reper-toire,we need to compose various pieces of Dra-nyen music,including etudes and solos,which can be widely used in talent cultivation in higher education.The paper explores the creative ideas and performance feasibility of the etudes,solos,and ensembles related to Dra-nyen playing,and analyzes how to transform them into a new teachable knowledge system and skill system,which can then be applied to the cultivation of undergraduates ma-joring in Dra-nyen performance and graduates studying on Dra-nyen art in colleges and universities.
