HCM CITY - Vietnamese artists are offering a series of short tutorial videos called “Cầm - Kỳ - Thi - Họa” focusing on teaching guitar, chess, singing and drawing for beginners on YouTube since mid-September.
All videos lasting around one minute are expected to help audiences to keep up with lessons and improve their skills during social distancing.
Award-winning singer Mỹ Linh will introduce short videos on basic vocal skills for beginners on her channel Mỹ Linh Vocal Coach by the end of September.
The diva said that even if audiences had no intention of pursuing a singing career, learning a new art form could help them stay optimistic and positive amid the pandemic.
Mỹ Linh graduated from the Hà Nội Conservatory of Music (currently Việt Nam National Academy of Music) in 1997.
She was named an impressive singer at the National Young Bands Festival in 1993, and won prizes at the Cống Hiến (Devotion) Music Awards for album and singer of the year in 2005, among others.

Meanwhile, Lo Beo Studio has shared two short videos on drawing an isometric image on its 270,000-subscriber channel.
According to the producers, they did not have enough equipment for producing long videos because they are now staying at home. So they decided to introduce short videos to share detailed steps on scale, arrangement of objects, and more.
Lo Beo Studio will be uploaded at 7pm every Wednesday and Saturday.
