*my sweet escape*: For The Love of Arts

As a newly appointed member of my son's school's PTA, I have an idea to upgrade the music class because apparently, even with the revamped education system now that's supposed to concentrate on the "arts" and not only on the "academic" side, the arts division at my son's school is still lacking in a lot of aspects.

I brought this up at the PTA meeting and the headmistress said the school is affiliated with One Music Academy so we can send our kids to music lessons instead because the school doesn't have a professional music teacher to teach the kids. Not every parent can afford to send their kids to extra music lessons at a music academy okay.. So parents at the lower income range are at a disadvantage, because even though Music is a subject at school, it's not being conducted like it should. It's really disappointing.

I really want to do something about this. My son is not really academically inclined.. he's more interested in music, art, and drama. So for the time being, he spends his holidays learning how to play the guitar with my older brother.

We don't need a jackson rr1 electric guitar in the music class, but at least the basic recorders, melodians, xylophones, cymbals, and other percussion instruments. I remember when I was in school we used to have the best time in Music class, playing with all these.
Well, I've got to really get some proposals going before the next PTA meeting. I hope the rest of the committee agree in upgrading our arts division. Wish me luck!
