Abstract

     In all aspects of life, aesthetic ideals are present, particularly in the field of arts. Through art, aesthetic ideals seem to have the conditions to express their own languages most fully and completely. Music, with its language of sound, utilizes artistic images constructed through various rich and diverse expressions, especially in songs when lyrics convey the contents reflected in those works. During the artistic creation process, aesthetic ideals play an important role in establishing standards for those artistic values. The public enjoys a large number of songs written about Hanoi, with different topics, forms of expression, and languages and materials for communication and representation of various aspects of life. A vast artistic portrait of Hanoi through sound or a historical chronicle of Hanoi through audio art is always warmly welcomed by both the capital's audience and the nationwide public with utmost affection.

What role does education about Hanoi's knowledge through songs written about Hanoi play in meeting these demands? Our article will discuss this topic.
