Diction
Howdy!
Singing has never been my forte, ever, and sometimes I wish I could sing half as good as the worst singer ever featured on the latest season of Indonesian Idol. My singing voice just grates like badly manicured nails on a blackboard while a 1,000-pound manatee is giving birth, but at least I like to think that I /ɪˈnʌnsiˌeɪt/ my words properly. But no, really... I wish I wasn't so inept at singing because I absolutely adore listening to art songs and operas (I could spend all day listing my favorite ones but that will be for another future post).

The Overture
This post is written as a response to Michael Mulyadi's post about music schools that are in danger of losing their students. After having lived in Jakarta for a year as a music teacher and répétiteur, I noticed a trend that may answer a few lingering questions at hand and how it would lead to a decline of music education in Indonesia if not remedied quickly.
