RE: berklee brunch 2020

Is music even taught in public schools anymore, outside of band? I feel like it got pushed out to teach kids how to pass the standardized test, or how to put condoms on cucumbers. Same with art, I think. You expressed yourself wonderfully. I guess that's the music in you. !tip

Sort:  

Sadly, music has been pushed out or it’s a side note of education and not emphasized for the intrinsic value music brings to the individual and society.

It’s alarming that society is suffering from the lack of art. To study how humanity expresses itself through the ages through art and music is a valuable education. People would feel empowered to find and create their voice through their practice.

I tell my students that how they are at the piano bench is how they are in the world.

Thx always for your support and encouragement :)

As the bumper sticker says, “eARTh without “art” is just “eh.” Keep making art, my friend.
