Building bridges through music to end violence against children

When I think of my childhood, there is one particular moment that I frequently revisit – the two-and-a-half-year-old me in front of the TV, watching the episode “Cat Concerto” from the cartoon series “Tom and Jerry”. In the cartoon, Tom plays Franz Liszt’s masterpiece Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, while Jerry attempts a number of different ways to disrupt his performance. It was incredibly fun and the music really got me hooked! After seeing Tom play, I felt so “inspired” and started to imitate him on my little piano, a present that I had just received from my parents. This was the day when my music talent was first discovered, and so began my life-long journey as a pianist.
