Pianist Nguyen My Anh has become the first Vietnamese music teacher to work in Hungary’s public education system, teaching piano at the Kiskunhalas City School of Music while also providing online lessons to young Vietnamese people in many countries, Vietnam.vn reported.
My Anh began piano at age 4 and studied at the Vietnam National Academy of Music for nine years before earning a full scholarship from Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training and the Hungarian Government to study piano performance at the University of Szeged. She completed her master’s degree entirely in Hungarian, the only foreign student in her department to do so, according to the report.
She was recognized for contributions to education with special consideration in Hungary’s national interest. Beyond Hungarian students, she continues teaching piano to students in Vietnam and offers online lessons to Vietnamese learners abroad.
My Anh said Hungary’s early music exposure, with children as young as 3 or 4 performing on stage, offers a model Vietnam could learn from. She is developing a program connecting her students in Vietnam, Hungary, and other countries through small gatherings where they play Vietnamese and world music together, Vietnam.vn reported.
