Excerpt from The North Carolina Symphony Teachers' Handbook
Once again, we are pleased to offer a handbook for use in preparing your students for our concerts. We are convinced that students who are prepared for what they hear profit from the experience many times over those who receive no preparation. I have heard it said that it is unnecessary to teach or talk about music music speaks for itself. French also speaks for itself, but unless someone has helped the student understand the fundamentals of the language he/she hears only sounds and no meaning. Fortunately for us, the meaning of music is personal to each listener. Teaching music is encouraging the students to believe there is something wonderful there if they will just open their ears and their minds. Doesn't it sound easy? I know that what you do is not easy, but we at The Symphony and many others in your communities appreciate your work in bringing the joy of music to your students....
