It focused on exploring the foundational knowledge of Hang drama, constructing a comprehensive guidebook for teaching, implementing this guidebook in experimental teaching settings, and evaluating the effectiveness of instruction based on its use. The overall purpose was to enable students to learn and perform Hang drama effectively.
Results: The research focused on enhancing the understanding and performance of Hang drama among students. It began by exploring existing academic materials to organize foundational principles and theoretical knowledge, enabling students to gain a deeper understanding of Hang Drama. A guidebook was then constructed, tailored to the needs of first-year music students at Hangzhou Normal University, incorporating expert suggestions and combining theory with practical singing exercises. This guidebook was designed to gradually introduce students to the complexities of Hang drama, starting from basic concepts and progressing to more advanced singing techniques. During the 16 hours of instructional sessions, students engaged in both theoretical learning and vocal practice. Evaluation results indicated that all students achieved satisfactory outcomes, meeting the course objectives and receiving positive feedback.
Conclusion: The guidebook aims to teach students to sing Hang drama, enrich the content of music courses, and learn local culture. Better promote the inheritance and development of the intangible culture of the local Hang drama.
