Description
A folk melody that appeared among the Mongolian tribes and has been spread and developed in their life and customs and has been sung as an ethnic preference is the long song. When the long song, a wonderful cultural and art heritage of the Mongolian people, has been sung among the nomadic people for centuries, its melody has been enriched and improved, and its school was established. Although the long song has mostly been passed on from generation to generation through genes, parents trained their children on the long song through their best local singers, observing their children's talent. Traditional student training is a form connected to Mongolian traditional customs and life. The teachers mostly carried out their training of their students individually, and their students passed their learned knowledge on to the next students. So, the tie between the teachers and students has continued. For the Mongolian traditional training method, a teacher-student training form that carried out training of the students in individual or groups was dominant, and in their example, the teachers instructed their students in breath, voice, melisma, falsetto, selection, diction, and so on. This family training was an education system that trained the children of the nomadic Mongols not only in the long song but also in the language and history.
