Gaza Music Students Find Smart Ways Around Travel Ban
|
Mar 26, 2012 |
The Gaza Music School was destroyed in the Israeli invasion soon after opening three years ago. It has been rebuilt and is being taken over by Palestinian national music conservatory. The school must now find innovative ways around Gaza travel restrictions. This is one of many logistical problems faced by staff and students at Gaza Music School, the only music school in the 360 square kilometer strip of land controlled by Israel. The school was set up three years ago by the UK-based Qattan Foundation and is about to be transferred to the Palestinian Edward Said National Conservatory of Music, which has branches in Jerusalem, Ramallah, Bethlehem and Nablus. According to Ramzy, a 24-year-old Palestinian American visiting piano teacher, "The children were hanging around the school and sharing music even when they had no classes on, and that's a music teacher's dream."
