Great music, performed well, is for everyone.
âAnd I believe everyone deserves it,â insisted Meaghan Heinrich, education curator for the Grand Teton Music Festival. âAnd that everyone has the capacity to understand it.â
It takes matching the right piece of music with the right audience â and tailoring the way itâs presented to the target audienceâs world.
âIf I go into a fifth grade classroom and play Beethovenâs 7th, some students might like it,â said Heinrich. âBut if I go in and have them teach me a TikTok chant they know and we notate it and we see that the rhythm is the same as the rhythm of the main motive of Beethovenâs 7th,â well, then, she said, listeners not only have a basis on which to understand and appreciate Beethoven, but they can listen to their own music on a deeper level and appreciate it even more.
