about

“Memoir for Myself” showcases musical parts that metaphorically tell a theme of simplicity and learning. As a 2nd generation Vietnamese individual living in the US, I always wanted to learn the instruments from my country. The Erhu is a staple to Vietnamese folk music, so I wanted to learn how Vietnamese music is made and how to play it; however, it's a tough instrument to start. It took me years to learn, and lots of YouTube tutorials, but I realize that learning the basics is necessary. This song shows that you can create beautiful songs with the basics of instrument usage as long as you’re doing it with pride, confidence, and dedication to the culture of the instrument. This overall theme defines my identity as someone who cares for their culture even if they weren’t initially from there. You can still showcase your culture even if you haven't learned or experienced the cultural item.
