To The Child Within Us

The school my children went to had a weekly drama class beginning at the third grade. One class from each grade performed in front of the whole school at the end of each term.

At the beginning of the drama performance, the children sang. The song was different every time, but they would all sing aloud to the teacher’s piano playing.

One would not believe the deafening racket they were raising a few minutes prior to the singing.

At the end of the song, a gong would announce the beginning of the play. Every body would be excited.

 

The drama class in this school was not a class to foster special talent. All the children took part in the class, just like they did in Japanese or mathematics or social studies. The children sang a lot during drama class, but they also sang during music class. The children would all sing aloud regardless of whether they could read music or not. Upper classmen played instruments as well.

Children grew to like music and they held concerts on their own.

 

To have art play a major role in everyday life is not only a joy, but it also has a potential to become a tool for communication, healing, learning.

I had the opportunity to come in contact with this type of education while I was part of the PTA. The idea of making music part of everyday life was the beginning of “home delivery concert”.

 

Our goal is to bring concerts to all people, not only children.

 

I once went to a concert of songs that were poems for children. The title of the concert was “Chanson for children”, but there were gown up gentlemen and ladies among the audience. Every body seemed to be enjoying the concert.

As I listened to the beautiful music, my mind began opening drawers of long forgotten memories and I was transported to the world of the poems.

We all have a child within us.

 

We want to deliver our concerts to the children within us.

We hope to deliver as many songs and music as possible, to as many people as possible.
