Children are our most precious gift. These wonderful beings come with an angelic smile into our world, which is so contradictory, aggressive and sometimes disoriented. It is our duty to guide them towards the eternal values: Truth, Good and Beauty. The Spirit of the universe should guide us in their education.

If we analyze the educational system and the literature for kids we realize that the children are treated like some small animals that are to be trained. Moreover, this mechanism prevents the evolution of the natural gifts and qualities they are born with into this world. The standardization of their spirit in the name of equalizing the development conditions is in my opinion a crime against humanity.After having written plays, film scripts, having written and directed radio shows, having made television shows and a movie (short film by the author), I have decided to devote my entire energy to making an educative show for children through which they can learn intuitively elements from classical music.

"The Little Music Lover's Lesson" has been a great opportunity and a wonderful experience. Thanks to the team and editors of Radio Romania Music I had the opportunity to bring biographies of musicians, works, events in classical music theory to children's minds. We found that little music lovers sometimes understand more than their parents, having a fineness of perception that we adults seem to have lost. Thus, using humor slipped into a fairytale, they can learn about what a chromatic register of scale means, how a sonata is structured. They can understand complex concepts through the metaphor that reaches their minds and soul. Thus we were able to familiarize them with symphonic music by turning the musical concept we want to present into a literary form.

I believe the learning process can be done through fun and games.

I consider that pedagogy and getting into the world of knowledge should not be a burden any more.
Children can enjoy good music, beauty and become citizens in a civilized world in which we believe.

Their education is an urgent task for all of us.
