Rondo Music Academy: Advocating Positive Mindset Shifts through Arts Education

There is no shortage of talented and hard-working youth musicians, who aspire to pursue careers in music. However, in Malaysia, there are various structural barriers that hinder the aspirations of these talents. The Rondo Production aims to address various problems through music such as:




1) Inequality of access to quality music education - Many disadvantaged youth face financial barriers that limit their access to quality music education. This inequality deprives them of personal growth and potential careers in the arts, and affects their self-confidence and cognitive development.




2) Lack of employment opportunities and youth empowerment - Marginalised youth struggle to find meaningful employment, leading to financial insecurity. This can lead to disengagement and potential social problems. Providing employment opportunities empowers them economically and socially.




3) Using music as a tool to unite people - Divisions and misunderstandings between community members can lead to social fragmentation. Using music as a unifying force promotes cohesion, cultural exchange and a sense of unity within the community.




The Rondo Music Academy strives to empower youth, promote equality and foster unity through its programmes and initiatives.
