    Goodbyes
  • of music learning...
    ++Sunday, November 14, 2010 ++


    Life in Singapore is hectic, and only the fittest survive.

    There is no mercy even for the kids studying in SYT.

    I saw a mother hitting her 5-year-old son barehanded,

    yelling that he didn't practise enough for the coming exam.

    I felt sorry for the sobbing little boy.

    My mum had never punished me in such physical manner

    for not practising the piano or violin.


    Music should be played with love.

    A foul mood will lead practising to nowhere.


    We must understand that little Mozart is not everywhere to be found.

    Not killing a kid's passion and interest in playing an instrument is already a success.

    Alles Gute!
