Why do students learn their music pieces almost exclusively from the sheet music? Why do they memorize only the pieces for exams, resulting in them searching for their scores when someone asks them to 'play something'? Why is sound rarely consciously worked on in the early years of study? Why do most young students not know how to practice?

Why are concerts so rare and so formal that they leave you feeling paralyzed? Where is the love, the passion, and the joy for music? How do you learn to play with others when you have immersed yourself in and become addicted to solitude for years? How are you suddenly asked to 'perform' when for years everything has been exercises and technique?

Why must we allow so many disabilities to form first, only to come years later and try to overcome them? Years ago, I encountered the 'Talent Education' method, inspired by a great educator, Shinichi Suzuki, and it opened up an entirely different world of music, love, teaching, and talent to my mind and heart. I let these waves of music, love, and talent flow towards you.

Because we owe it to the children of the world.
