Music is so important to education and I am happy to see it is still alive and well.” “I wish I had a program like this in my school growing up. “We didn’t get to play cool music when I was a kid. “This is so cute!! Perfect work, congrats!!” “Wow!!! Great work kiddos!! And what great teaching staff!!!” Using MPCs and other electronic musical instruments, they delivered an amazingly easy-to-listen-to performance for anyone who’s ever been to an elementary school music recital.Ĭomments to it were a mix of optimistic joy for these kids and bitter resentment for our own experiences. That cover of Daft Punk’s “Something About Us” was performed by fourth grade students at Namsong Elementary School in Daegu, South Korea. I think it would have gone something like this… Now, as I play around with all the digital equipment easily found online, I often wonder what it would have been like to have gear like this as an impressionable child.

I’d just assumed they were unwieldy to anyone but a chosen few who - as far as I could tell at that age - had a god-given talent for it. Needless to say it didn’t work, and it wasn’t until years later that I ever bothered to pick up an instrument again. Unfortunately, I learned this way too late in life, as when I was a kid, my educators felt it prudent to give a barely functioning plastic recorder with which I should ignite my passion for music.

Playing music is a long process full of ups and downs and requires a true passion to maintain practicing until you develop a working knowledge of the art.

Watching this video makes me realize that I got ripped off as a kid.
