Assistant Director, State High School of Arts (Yangon), Zin Mar Win said "There’re 2 art high schools; each one in Yangon and Mandalay. For those who come to join these courses from various regions, preparations are being made to provide dormitories for the convenient living. According to the curriculum, the trainees have to attend the courses for 10 months per year and the government will provide 30,000K of stipends per month for each student. So, we want to welcome new students and would like to invite them, also."

As Myanmar traditional culture is a worth preserving history that will not disappear, those who interested in arts can join these courses, preserving the cultural heritage.

"

Principal, Department of performing arts, Yin Yin Myint said "In terms of arts, there are 8 subjects: Saing Waing (Traditional orchestra), xylophone, piano, harp, violin, traditional men and women dance.
