On December 8, 2019 the employee of the Bulgarian Museum-reserve Vagapov Ravil Munirovich held an interactive educational lesson “Balalaika-our cultural heritage” for students of MBOU “Bulgarian school No. 2”, participants of associations of MBOU TO “House of children’s creativity”.
During the lesson the children learned the history of the origin of this Russian national instrument. Its name is associated with the manner of playing the balalaika. It was determined, as balakane, buffoonery, balabolstvo, strumming.
None of the folk festival is not complete without the balalaika. However, her appearance was not the same as today. The peasants were making a work of art out of any available materials. To the North, they were hollowed-out wooden ladles with sinewy strings. It is believed that the first balalaika had a round shape. Then shovel-shaped. The variety of sizes and shapes was astounding. Gradually developed a triangular shape.
Playing the balalaika deeply and firmly sinks into the soul, causing delight. The simplicity of the game and a wide range, make it a unique, inimitable instrument of the nation.
