I can’t stop reminiscing about my child hood and how music played such an
imperative part. From the chorus and singing in the school plays and awards
programs, the chorus concerts. (They probably stopped those years ago) And last
but not least…. learning to play an instrument in the band. When I was given the
Saxophone I looked at that thing and said “Man I want the drums” It seemed to be
too many keys to learn at the time. The teacher didn’t allow me to change so
after a few weeks of practice it started to jell. My life lesson from that
experience is that I can do anything with a little practice and commitment. At
present my music background in which I leaned in elementary school helps me as a
professional Disc Jockey today. I even leaned some Disc Jockey stuff in the 4th
grade from my older brother as well. What he taught me made since because of
what I was already leaning about music during school. Bottom line if we want our
kids to be successful they need different food for their brains from birth
until….. The little chorus and band classes will last a life time!!!!!!!!
I understand that the budget is in bad shape but
please look at other areas! The Georgia Dept of Corrections spends on average
$16,888 per year PER INMATE (its on their web site). Maybe if we spend that much
per child on education, there would be fewer people in prison. That alone will
open up more money!
