Bhutan- Arts - Music

   



As with the education of those chosen to dance the sacred dances, those chosen to play the traditional instruments -  and thus represent the culture -  are equally trained in a serious, rigorous manner.

As you will see in the pictures above, many instruments are being played at once.  This was not a practice piece played together rather practice being played in many different ways all at once.  I have no idea how, with so many sounds crashing one on top of the other, the students were able to keep their focus.  But, focus they did inspired perhaps by the honor of  being selected for this training.
