Random -ness

Ok so I’ve been playing for 18 years and i’m a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? I’ve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because i’m an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. I’ve seen very few professional string players who are black.

I don't often talk about myself here but let me share a fun fact:

Heinäkuussa 1634 Turun piispa Isak Rothovius laati pahantuulisena kirjettä kansleri Axel Oxenstiernalle. Rothovius, Smoolannissa syntynyt ruotsalainen, oli toiminut piispana Suomessa kahdeksan vuotta ja alkoi saada tarpeekseen. Hän oli väsynyt juurruttamaan puhdasoppista elämää valtakunnan nurjamielisille takamaille. "Elän keskellä skorpioneja ja barbaari-ihmisiä", hän valitti Oxenstiernalle.
