By Tony Alabastro

Bandar Seri Begawan - Beats & Pieces, a live concert to mark the first anniversary of Neoclassic Music School, will be held at the Royal Berkshire Hall, Jerudong Polo Club, on Nov 20.

"Our students will be performing live classical, pop, rock, jazz, folk music and Broadway music.

There will be songs in Malay, Filipino, Chinese, English, German, Italian and Spanish," said Sharon Ojeda Jusay, music school founder and principal.

"Our Junior Music Wizards ages three to five will be performing. Enjoy our cute drummers four years and above as they perform in ensembles and in the school band," she said.

"Our youngest student is a one-year-old child, who appreciates music and reacts to classical tunes. Numerous scientific researches have shown that music is beneficial to the development of children, especially at a very young age.

"Our oldest student is middle-aged. We believe that everyone has the potential to be musically talented, regardless of age or background.

"I have been teaching music for over 12 years," said Sharon, who grew up in Kuala Belait, where her parents taught in government schools.

"I have seen my students achieve so much and overcome their learning difficulties through their music study. Various skills related to live are also developed, such as self-confidence, social skills, self-discipline, mathematics skills, and so on.

"Let's make it a special nigl4t to remember. Support our music education programme," said Sharon, who regularly attends Professional Development Programmes conducted by the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music.

In 2001, Sharon was awarded membership in the prestigious Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi. She graduated cum laude from the University of the Philippines with the degree of Bachelor of Music, Piano Performance. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
