"I WILL SURVIVE!": Menyikapi Ujian Musik - by: Jelia Megawati Heru (Staccato, August 2014)

"I WILL SURVIVE!"

MENYIKAPI UJIAN MUSIK

by: Jelia Megawati Heru

Staccato Article (August 2014)

“Miss, kapan anak saya ikut ujian piano?”

(lho!? padahal belum genap empat kali pertemuan)

Jawaban dari pertanyaan di atas yang jelas, bukan “setiap tahun” atau “setiap bulan September.” Banyak orang yang berpendapat, bahwa ujian musik harus dilakukan setiap tahun, bahkan apabila memungkinkan, orang tua akan memacu anak untuk melewati beberapa level sekaligus. Fenomena ini sangat marak terjadi di Asia, khususnya Indonesia. Banyak orang tua yang menjadi sangat terobsesi dan gelap mata dengan terminologi ujian “internasional.” Mereka berlomba-lomba supaya anaknya mendapatkan nilai terbaik demi meraih rekor kandidat termuda. Musik diperlakukan ibarat kontes kecantikan dan anak mereka diperlakukan bak beruang sirkus. Ide mendorong anak untuk mengikuti ujian dan kompetisi setiap tahun, itu terkadang merupakan penyiksaan dan horor bagi murid dan guru. IMPOSSIBLE? Disini sepertinya kata itu berubah menjadi “I’M POSSIBLE!”
