Music Education is a Must

• Playing music is really interesting
• During my Childhood when I was in the Elementary School at Sacred Heart School Peking
• The Schools are obliging us to take a music lesson
• There are many instruments that we can choose, from Violin, Piano, Mandolin, Guitar, Cello and other instruments
• The interesting part is that in the Concert Hall in such School, there are pictures of the Musicians such as Mozart, Beethoven, Bach where we as students have to know the name and the date of birth of such Musicians.
• There will be a day where there will be orchestra held by all the students
• So we can see that this Sacred Heart School is just a normal International School, but they had adopted an education system that Music is a must to be taken by the students
• The Orchestra Hall was also huge which is really amazing
• it was back to 1960 ies when I was in the elementary school, which was really shaping my mind in responding to music live.

Music as Therapy

• music is really a therapy
  
• when you feel stress or stuck
• you better play music either organ or guitar or just sing out loud so that you can express out your feelings and astonishing you will feel relieved after playing for 15 minutes
  
• it is really working for me
  
• you must not run from your problems
  
• you have to face it
  
• but in order to get you into a normal situation you sometimes needs some output of your headaches and stressful feelings
• one of the method which works for me is just simply hearing music or play music or just sing out loud.
• You can try this method

starting my music blog

• Yes, I have started establishing and opening my music blog
• why am I opening this blog
• the reason might be that I like playing music
• sometimes there is a time, where you are asking yourself, why are you not doing music not just as a hobby but also a part of your job, where at least you must spare your time to do some exercise in playing and doing the things that you like such as music.
• Yes, music is part of your life where you cannot avoid.
• For instance relating to my experience, when I was small, in my early years, I was educated in Sacred Heart School in Peking, where my father was posted as a diplomat in China during the years of 1960 ies.
• Music was an obligatory curriculum where I had choose violin as my music education.
• Based on my earlier background I really found music as part of my live.
• When I was in Holland, there was a piano in the Boarding School or Boarding house, where I had stayed for 3 years.
• I played piano, occasionally, during that time and until now I liked to play organ/keyboard.
• Every time I feel stress full, I just go to the keyboard and played the keyboard/organ.
• and after playing for 1/2 hour I really feel released and comfort
  
• My son Dwi ( Januar) had studied guitar since he was in elementary school and now he frequently played guitar with his friends, and also become active in music occasions and music arrangements.
• His education is now in the Law Faculty of University of Indonesia, but he also frequently played guitar and band with his friends in the University when there are certain events.
• I also sometimes like to play organ / keyboard together with him at home, just as a hobby .
• well having said the above, I feel comfort and really found a place to write my feelings about music in this blog.

Music as Therapy

• Music is part of your life
• without music life is empty
• if you are stressful, by hearing music you can heal and lessen your stress
• if you happen to like playing music, music will be a therapy for your soul and mind
• you can express your self through music
• when playing music such as organ your fingers can move around freely in your organ
• you can wildly express your self through such organ
• if you are stressful, why don't you try to play music or listen to music
• my experience with playing organ for instance, may really help you lessen your stress
• you can play 1/2 hour and you then can feel the difference between your feeling before and after playing such music.
• ok you may start trying the above therapy

Cheers
