MUsic in schools.....

[petrina_123]

Do you think the music lessons in primary and secondary school were totally pointless??!!

I think they were......

 

[Phil]

To an extent, because most of the damn kids have yet to develop an interest in music.

For one, I know it did me no good. I was not the least bit interested in playing the recorder.

 

[petrina_123]

the recorder playing sucked and the stuff they made us sing and do were a waste of time!

 

[dhalif]

but i got to know the basics of reading scores though.. i love my music teacher

 

[petrina_123]

^heh i cant even remember the basic score reading they thought me!

 

[TequilaSunrise]

It didn't interest me a bit at that time, but now I realised how important they could have been. Unfortunately, I suck at playing the recorder, and will still suck. I was better at guitar =/

 

[teraslasch]

[ahkiatt]

[Freeko]

the recorder days were terrible...i remember my music teach told me if u cannot even play recorder, guitar will be even harder...but looks like she's WRONG!! i still can't play recorder..

 

[Mobius]

The recorder days, brings a tear to my eyes..hahah becuase i always blow wrongly and kenna ear pulled by my music teacher. But somehow I din hate music, I jus hated the teacher :lol:

 

[ItAcHi]

hahaha...i love playin the recorder when im at pri sch...i still take it out and play once in awhile...but i still sux in it..hahahah...

 

[nitrovo]

my school couldnt afford much. poor country school in Australia.

We did music for about 1 hour in 6 a whole 6 years and there wasnt enough tambourines or anything so i dont even remeber if i got a go.

 

[DarknessFury]

I was interested in blowing random notes all the time back then...and of course, taking apart the recorder and putting it back together, lol.

 

[dhalif]

i played this simple classical song for a test with the recorder.. i followed a book i bought

 

[CyanideJunkie]

i used to re-enact swordfights with my trusty (and battle-scarred) recorder...

and of course, i was made to stand in the corner several times because of tat

 

[Freeko]

lol battle scarred..

 

[ahkiatt]

lool primary school gangfights. CHEONG AH... *whcks a guy unconscious with my recorder*

 

[cold_static544]

they should have slayer appreciation classes.

 

[ixora05]

haha they're quite different affairs for secondary schools now. my old school, Crescent, actually has jamming facilities in the new creative arts conservatory, with both electronic and regular drumkit, plus bass and electric guitars and amps and a recording studio.
but primary school...ahha playing Ode to Joy on the recorder was a bit of a waste of time. (any song put onto the recorder just sounds childish to me now somehow.)

 

[letterhead]

my school was not too bad, taught us the history of jazz and how to improvise
