Globalization and Music Education
An article from the Asia Times from 2 December affirms my commitment to my daughter’s musical education. We learn both piano and violin, and they do require a tremendous commitment, both financially and time-wise. Practicing can at times be a struggle (mostly after even the shortest of vacations), but can also be a pleasure. When both parents work, it is especially difficult just to find the time and energy. But the discipline that practicing develops is invaluable. And while school seems to challenge our daughter very little, learning the violin and piano challenge her every single day. And when she masters a song or movement, she experiences the pleasure of making music.
