A word to Parents and Teachers By Keiko Ogiwara Thank you very much for today's concert. We are very fortunate to come to the spring-like warmth of Phoenix from the midwinter cold in Japan. We are also happy to attend today's concert and meet the teachers who have gathered together to research how to teach students. They say that the economy is bad everywhere. However, the practice you do with your children at home will become their assets, assets that will never be influenced by the world economy and will never run out. Through studying the arts, children can acquire the abilities of patience, effort, concentration and beautiful sensibility. Fathers and mothers, please keep raising your children with faith and conviction. We are looking forward to seeing you all and hearing your performance again someday in the future. Thank you. |
