Alfie Kohn - Education and Music

[@juangarza4329]

Alfie is my spirit animal

[@hrorq]

This is so deep and so true. I need to totally reevaluate the values and the method by which I have been generally operating my life. Thanks a ton, Alfie and Fiddlestick Productions. There can never be enough food for thought.

I want to meet this guy

Ik this is old but if you go to alfiekohn.org (his website) you can send him a message and he’ll get back to you in 24hours.

The musician gives value to life, the doctor saves life. If there is no value in life then there is nothing for the doctor to save. There is no such thing as something being more important than the other, that is coming from the mouths of the unintelligent or those who controls the unintelligent.

Music can also help someone who is depressed

As an oboe player who got a masters degree in performance and walked away from the ridiculous path to a professional orchestral job, I love this message.

Any chance you could elaborate? I’m a non music undergrad student and want an insider’s opinion on how the orchestral path impacts music education.
