The heroine of the movie "Strings Move My Heart" Roberta is a violin teacher full of educational passion, because her husband's naval work had to be transferred frequently, in order to take care of the family, Roberta had to give up her job, but she always had the ideal of music teaching in her heart.
So her husband was ready to open a private violin teaching class for her and bought 50 violins for teaching, but the course had not yet been opened, and her husband had already empathized with her and abandoned her. Determined to regain her ideals, Roberta was determined to regain her ideals on her own, and after hard work, she successfully applied for a job as a music teacher at East Harlem Elementary School, teaching violin lessons.
Although the course was not initially endorsed by parents and other teachers, and children were not interested in it, Roberta was convinced that children could learn and love the instrument, even if the violin was recognized as difficult to learn.
In the end, the effort paid off, and the children finally became excellent violinists.
Roberta is a very ideal teacher, and it is true that she really needs this job to support her family, but her perseverance is entirely out of love and dedication to violin education.
She has a strong ideal for music teaching, and she believes that every child's firm belief in learning the violin has created her strong educational passion, so she focuses on this career and devotes herself to it. At this time, we see Roberta, full of enthusiasm for continuous creation, and also has a sense of development beyond the self and the passion and vitality of teaching and educating people.
The school also has a music teacher, Mr. Lausie, whose conservative thinking and contented teaching performance are in stark contrast to Roberta.'s He expressed concern about the children's ability to learn music, and did not believe that they could learn to play the violin, but Roberta's teaching made the children do it.
Inspiration to the heart, spirit to summon the spirit, love for knowledge and truth, care for the younger generation, are the inexhaustible source of educational passion.
Nayim's mother wouldn't let him learn violin just because she felt it was a white man's business, and she didn't need a white teacher like Roberta to come here and be the savior of the black child. And Roberta told her:
She didn't come here to save anyone, just because she was a single mother who needed the job, and if she thought she was doing so to protect her son, she would be wrong. What if Arthur Ash's mother asked him to give up playing tennis simply because it was a white sport? You know, the key is Nayim's feelings, the happy expression on his face when he plays the piano, as a mother, she really should take a good look.
Such a passion for education out of a sense of responsibility and mission requires care and wisdom, and Roberta has this educational conscience and wisdom, and she is not willing to give up any student who wants to learn violin. She often taught privately and individually for the extremely talented Rachel, and also applied for the Gifted Children Program and enrolled in the Julia Conservatory of Music, all of which she volunteered to help students from the bottom of her heart.
Her passion for education is entirely motivated by her love of music and care for her students, and this force prompts her to have a stronger internal drive to love and care for her students, so virtuous circle.
Even in the face of a child like Deshaun, who did not like the violin at first and was still very mischievous, she was not discouraged and created her own educational method. Deshaon was also gradually infected by the teacher's passion for violin education, liked her unique teaching style, began to consciously abide by the discipline of the classroom, and made rapid progress in learning.
Roberta was a man who dared to take on a challenge.
When her two sons were anxious about her life and helped her publish the marriage information, she said that she did not have the energy and time to think about it, she devoted herself to teaching the violin, and she was very content and happy to have this and the current family.
She was a good teacher. After ten years of hard work, Roberta has made groups of students enjoy and achieve success, and the violin course has become one of the most popular courses in the school. However, the Education Bureau has notified that education funding will be drastically reduced, and schools will have to cancel some additional courses, with music classes bearing the brunt.
At the concert that followed, Roberta spoke that she would not agree to the Education Bureau's approach, that no matter what difficulties she encountered, Roberta would not give up her education career, and that she and her parents would discuss raising money for the course by paying for performances. With the full support and help of many friends, Roberta and the students held a wonderful performance at Carnegie Hall together with a number of well-known violinists.
"Ten years ago, Roberta walked into my office because she was looking for a job, because she had the belief that all children have the ability to learn to play the violin, so we joined forces to start a violin lesson in East Harlem. Through this course, thousands of children benefit from it, who open up their horizons and expand their living space. If such a course is canceled, the children's future will be much less exciting. ”
This is the opening remarks of the school's head Janet before the carnegie concert hall performance. It can be seen that Roberta's violin lessons are very beneficial to the development of children in all aspects, and she is recognized and respected by parents. Even famous musicians and violinists have been touched, admired and strongly supported by this.
Of course, the audience here was also unconsciously excited and inspired by her, especially the moment she put down her violin after playing in Carnegie Hall, the feeling of emotion and admiration came out of nowhere.
A violin teacher who perseveres for his dreams, does not give up on every child, and achieves himself in the challenge. In addition, we can also see that Roberta is a teacher who knows, teaches, and teaches music, and she ignites the passion of each child with practical actions, accompanied by the melodious melody of the violinists, and the whole movie is nearing the end. The movie is over, but Roberta's spirit will live on forever, in tune with the times.
