NCKU students teach piano in remote school - noodls
Tainan, Taiwan, July 10, 2013
About 30 students from the Piano Club of National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), southern Taiwan, hosted the Piano & Art Camp at Tian-Zi Elementary School, Ping-Tung County, Taiwan, recently, to realize their aspiration of service learning and civic responsibility.
The students took the initiative to apply the grants from the Ministry of Education and Want Want Foundation and intended to combine academic theory with practical real-life experience.
A total of 50 children during the 4-day camp get to know the world of music when the members of the piano club teach them to familiarize with the music history, music theory, and the stories of the musicians.
The leader of the club Meng-Che Wu who is a sophomore from the Department of Accountancy said that they raised funds for the camp expecting to bridge the educational gap between the elementary schools in the cities and that in the remote areas of Taiwan.
NCKU Piano Club established in1969 with a mission statement of promoting piano and music with routine activities, performance and community involvement among the general public.
To lead the students in public schools and the neighboring community to know better about the music and enjoy the music-learning has always been the aim of the club members, according to Wu.
He said, the Piano & Art Camp is targeted at the elementary students and by hosting the musical activities the love for music is cultivated and the level of music learning is elevated among participants.
Mei-Tze Chen from Tian-Zi Elementary School expressed her gratitude for the big sisters who she had spend 4 days with, "Thank you very much! You must be exhausted. You have no time to rest until the gala has finished at around 8 p.m. Thank you!"
"It's a fun day! I feel so happy because I play a lot of games. Thank you, big brothers and sisters," Shu-Yu Chiu wrote down his reflections of the camp on a little card passing to the club member.
"This is a trip of hope," said Wu, "and to share knowledge with the children helps not only the children but us who benefits the most." Enditem/
