"I believed in you": the secret of success for young talents of Zainsk

      How the schoolchildren of Zainsk conquer the stages of the republic and the country, and why their first victorious call comes from the head of the Zainsk district

      Joyful news has arrived in Zainsk again: the students of the honored cultural worker of the Republic of Tatarstan, Alfiya Valiullina, have returned home with yet another victory. The ensembles "Miras," "Azal," and "Nasledie" — consisting of several dozen exceptionally talented children — have once again proven that the Zainsk school of vocal art is one of the strongest in the republic. "We are children who are used to shining brightly in the sky, who are accustomed to working hard and receiving worthy rewards for it," say the young artists about themselves. Behind these words are years of rehearsals, hundreds of hours of work on voice, movement, and image. Their performances of folk songs have captivated more than one jury — not only in Tatarstan but also far beyond the republic's borders. The secret of their success is both simple and complex: an endless love for culture, native song, and dance, which Alfiya Valiullina has been instilling in children for almost 30 years. She is the creator of a unique creative environment where every child can flourish. "Alfiya Khamisovna taught us not only to sing and dance but to feel the music and understand the depth of the folk word," share the students. Notably, Alfiya Valiullina does not rest on her laurels. In nearly 30 years of work, she has produced hundreds of talented children, many of whom have tied their lives to the stage. Recently, the director took a step towards those who also want to sing but have long since graduated from school. She created an ensemble for the women of our city who love song and want to share it with people. As the artists and their parents admit, achieving high results without the support of the district leadership would be much more difficult. "After competitions, when the results are announced, the very first call with congratulations always comes from the head of the Zainsk district, Razif Galievich Karimov," say the ensemble participants. "He calls us personally and always says the same words: 'Well done, children! I believed in you.' And in his voice, there is sincere pride for us." The young artists and their mentor asked to convey their words of gratitude to Razif Galievich through the media. "Thanks to your support, we have the opportunity to perform in well-equipped and well-maintained venues, participate in significant district and interregional events. We can develop our skills and bring the joy of creativity to the residents of the district. We highly appreciate your understanding of the importance of art for society, your willingness to support creative initiatives, and to create conditions for talent to flourish."

      Children, parents, and Alfiya Khamisovna herself conveyed the warmest words of appreciation to all who support their creativity. "Your support inspires us to new achievements and helps us bring music and song into the hearts of people," is the message they collectively send.
