- Taiwan students break mass violin-playing record
Fall 2011, there were 4,645 Taiwanese students, coming from 172 elementary and junior high schools playing the violin to set a new Guinness World Record for mass violin-playing. I was amazed by this event because I often hear people telling me how difficult it is to do good or how costly it would be. This event has clearly demonstrated that if there is a will, there is a way.
In Taiwan, music education or any extra curriculum activities have been privileges for the rich because there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Many elementary students cannot afford the lunch program that schools offer which cost approximately $ 20 per month. It may not seem like a big number but to many households, it is a huge burden because the starting salary of an average clerk is around $800, and many households have lower income than that. These students are able to learn a musical instrument because the local government, schools and teachers sacrificed their own time to provide these students with the opportunity. It just comes to show that wealth does not always determine the outcome of our life. This programme was successful because a lot of people in the community put in the effort to support it. Much like Central, where amazing things are happening every day, all it requires us to do is put in the effort to build that environment for the children.
