n late October, Concordian welcomed visitors from Thai schools in Sukhothai and Phuket to learn about cultural heritage preservation of Thai and International Music. Over 30 Music teachers from Primary and Secondary Thai schools in Sukhothai and Phuket, led by Khun Ukrist Balankura, Advisor of True Visions Group, and Khun Chatchai Sukawe (Rang Rockestra), music instructor and former lead singer of Rockestra Band, visited Concordian. The visitors were introduced to our music classrooms and learned techniques of teaching music in both Thai and International systems through the demonstrations and exemplary expertise of our Music teachers lead by Ms. Hyesun, Mr. Kim, Mr. Sebert, and Kru A. On this occasion, Concordian students welcomed the visitors with impressive performances. They showcased their outstanding talents and skills in music with a harmonious combination of Thai and International music instruments. At the end of the day, our performers had a chance to see the outstanding performance of Khun Rang Rockestra singing “The Impossible Dream”, one of the songs composed by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great, and “Love You Thailand or Rak Ter Prathet Thai” with his unique vocal style. Concordian is proud to have had the opportunity to share and demonstrate our value of both Thai and international cultures, help preserve the cultural heritage in music, and contribute to music education of the next generation.
