There are numerous U.S. public schools that have outstanding music ed
programs. However, in our nation's push for "so-called" educational
excellence, many school districts have curtailed their band/orchestra
programs. What a shame. There is ample evidence that demonstrate that the
fine arts can contribute to the affective/cognitive development of
students.
I completely agree with you. My school band has to do a fundraiser each year (I believe one for each grade), and we have to raise four thousand dollars through the fundraiser because the school doesn't fund the music programs all that much. We have band, orchestra and choir, and I presume they fund choir the most because if your not in band or orchestra, that's where you go. Last year, the school almost cut band and U was devastated when I heard that. What kills me is school districts cutting music. Much like art - scratch that, music is art - it's a way to express yourself through your own pieces, or perhaps a piece you chose that depicts your mood.What also sickened me was, in the transition between school years, only a very minimal (maybe, 7 or so,) amount of kids kept doing band from my school. They joined band yet they never committed. And here I sit, loving music all alike, while they sit over there, despising the idea of hard work in band.Our schools are just so screwed up.
+Li Jenny Not just at this school. It's like that in every Japanese school. It's a cultural thing. The most popular activity for boys in Japan nationwide is baseball.....for girls it's band. Only about 10% of band students nationwide are boys.
I have been living in Korea for almost 12 years and worked at elementary
school for 7 years.
First of all, Asian students are notorious for their memorization skills...
not their interpretation, their critical thinking, nor their felling, but
their ability to rote memorize.
While I can't be sure about these bands, I do know for a fact that Korean
students get very little sleep to practice one thing and one thing only.
They become an expert in that one thing, whether it be a musical
instrument like the baritone, or a sport like golf.
Some students leave home to go to private academy to become and expert.
I am guessing that these students practiced during school time, practiced
at home, and went to private academies to practice some more.
If you could focus on something long enough to practice it for so many
hours in a day and to prefect your ability, you too could play like this.
I just wish these kids had a childhood.
Not one smile on their faces at the end. It was just another day of play.
who are you to decide that they're not happy? i've played in a band like this when i was young and god i was overjoyed when we perfected the songs. do not impose your cultural belief on another. just enjoy the music.
you know nothing then, my wife played in this kind of band when she was young, trust me they are enjoying, they are disciplined, but man we used to be like that in Europe and America but we have lost it and now we have playstation and stupid masses screaming "I DESERVED" I just hope that we are gonna wake up, hopefully not too late. One more thing, most of this kids will never become professionals, this is just fun, but fun in a good style, and listen this, this is played with feeling, dont try to excuse our stupidity and laziness

Yes! Glad to see manhua getting more attention, and the fact that communism
is weakening. If only I could travel to London and check out this exhibit!
It'd be amazing for my art homework.
