For everyone, but especially for teachers. A desire for a "different" school

Even someone who masturbates earns money... but come on...

It seems simple, but it is considered a risk level 4 job, due to the excessive strain on the tendons caused by the repetitiveness of the movements.

... so what can we say about pianists? We are truly bordering on the ridiculous...

Can you imagine a remake of "Modern Times" in the style of a female boxer ??? Ahahahahahah

I found this article by Accardo to his daughters: "Growing up with music"

I conclude my letter, dear twins, with an invitation to hope. You must not let yourselves be conditioned by the dark moment we are going through. If we do not close our eyes, if we stay awake and everyone does what they can with the weapons at their disposal, I am sure we will leave this night behind us. We must ensure that conditions are created for a cultural rebirth. We teachers and artists are doing our best and, in my opinion, we must work specifically on the youngest, to ensure that they learn. To make them change this path of crisis which only appears to be inevitable.

Beautiful words. I am also convinced that we are essentially living through a cultural crisis, rather than an economic one. Young people must rediscover motivation and interest. It is up to the Great Masters to instill encouragement. Thanks also to Frank

Thanks Paolo and let's hope for the best for all our futures. But more than hoping, there is certainly a lot to do...

I was rewatching on Sky the videos that Bernstein, great conductor and great man, recorded with the orchestra for young people. It dates back to the sixties. I find them extraordinary and worthy of sparking that interest we are talking about. That "spark" of passion, which will transform into a journey of "Passion"! I was wondering if, by any chance, these videos and/or others could be proposed in schools, which I believe are interesting even for advanced musicians. Let's hope it happens sometimes. Ad Majora
