Teacher’s Message - Koh Nathanael
Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.-Leo Buscaglia
As Buscaglia eloquently stated, I express my heartfelt joy for BMMA's remarkable endeavour of nurturing many individuals’ musical talents. BMMA has been instrumental in providing quality music education to children who might otherwise be deprived of such opportunities due to their unique needs.
At age 12, Andrea Boccelli was hit by a soccer ball and became blind. However, 24 years later, he became famous as a singer, bringing classical music to a pop audience. This shows that music education holds boundless potential to empower every individual, regardless of background or ability. It also helps to enrich potential talents from every corner of the world and from all walks of life.
BMMA achieves its goal by giving young people a chance to hone their musical talents. In this environment, barriers are transformed into stepping-stones, facilitating the growth of these young minds.
As a neurodivergent individual myself, I appreciate any opportunities that come my way and having the right people to allow me to shine, as well as to contribute back to society as a volunteer teacher of music theory. Without good people pointing me in the right direction, I would not be where I am now, and I want to pay these blessings forward to others. BMMA has provided opportunities to not just students, but also to individuals like me who want to serve.
I thank BMMA for its contribution in improving the lives of children who are neurodiverse or impaired and allowing their God-given talents to shine.
Thank you.
