TED prize 2009: Jose Antonio Abreu: The El Sistema music revolution (script)
Summary
The EL Sistema music revolution.
The EL Sistema is the National System of Youth and Children's Orchestras and Choirs in Venezuela where music and art were thought of monopoly of elites.
However, in there, children can have opportunities to be musicians through all their lives regardless of classes, color, and financial status. They can play music with them beyond those problems. In poverty, the most miserable and tragic thing is not the lack of bread or roof but the feeling of being no one, no identification, or no public esteem. That's why the speaker said that the children's development in the orchestra and the choir provides them with a noble identity and inspires in them a sense of responsibility, perseverance, and punctuality through playing music.
This greatly helps them not only in school but also in the family and community.
The children can discover that they are important to their family and community. It leads them to work for and makes an invention for themselves and their family and community.
You can understand how the music can change poor children to professionals when you listen to the EL Sistema. The music they play can contribute in and make the revolution in their own and society.
