Education
In Mongolia the morin khuur can be learned at three schools:
- the SUIS (соёлын урлагын их сургууль), engl. "university of arts and culture" Here students enter in adult age for obtaining a bachelor degree after 2 years and a master degree after 5 years of musical education After the master's degree the students are considered to be professional musicians, and can play at one of the state ensembles or later become a teacher at the SUIS.
- the music and dance college (хөгжим бүгжийм соллеж) Here usually children enter this school, which has a strong focus on music, but not exclusively
- the cultre school of the SUIS (СУИСы, соёлын сургууль) Here several qualification courses are available. Graduates from this school mostly become teachers or enter the SUIS
Also many amateur players acquiered reasonable skills by taking lessons from private teachers, or being taught by their parents, relatives, family.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“We find that the child who does not yet have language at his command, the child under two and a half, will be able to cooperate with our education if we go easy on the “blocking” techniques, the outright prohibitions, the “no’s” and go heavy on “substitution” techniques, that is, the redirection or certain impulses and the offering of substitute satisfactions.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“Individually, museums are fine institutions, dedicated to the high values of preservation, education and truth; collectively, their growth in numbers points to the imaginative death of this country.”
—Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
“If you complain of neglect of education in sons, what shall I say with regard to daughters, who every day experience the want of it? With regard to the education of my own children, I find myself soon out of my depth, destitute and deficient in every part of education. I most sincerely wish ... that our new Constitution may be distinguished for encouraging learning and virtue. If we mean to have heroes, statesmen, and philosophers, we should have learned women.”
—Abigail Adams (1744–1818)
