樂學、陪伴、 教育均等.
我們的理念
音樂，在多變的社會下展現最真誠的人性，也在困境中帶給人們希望。
我在台中市長大，自六歲開始接觸鋼琴，踏上了學習音樂的旅程。九歲時，我遇見了低音提琴，縱使它比當年的我還要高大許多，我仍下定決心要學習這項特殊的樂器。十幾年後的今日，我依然在演奏它；雖然學習的過程困難重重且充滿挑戰，但從音樂中獲得的體驗和喜悅是無價且永恆的。
高中畢業於台中二中，一路就讀音樂班長大的我，花了許多時間在琴房追求更精湛的琴藝，卻在不知不覺中少了與世界的聯繫。就讀大學時，我獲得了到醫院、安養院、孤兒院表演的機會。當我演奏低音提琴時，安養院的居民唱起歌來，治療中的病人逐漸放鬆緊張的情緒，孩子們專注地欣賞著樂曲。音樂的力量如此之大，它消除了人與人之間的隔閡，撫慰並擁抱了人們的傷痛與不安。因此，我決定走出琴房，運用自身所學和力量帶給社會改變及貢獻。
我深知並不是每個人都和我一樣，能夠擁有豐富的資源及支持我的家庭。在走訪一些偏鄉小學後，我看見許多孩童渴望學習音樂，卻因缺乏資源被迫放棄。我非常感恩及珍惜自己擁有學習音樂的機會，而我也希望，每個孩子都能有這個機會體驗音樂的美好。因此，創立了臺灣偏鄉音樂推廣協會，希望提供孩子們更多的學習資源，同時回饋培育我成長的這塊土地。
最後，特別感謝李芳和珮芊，我的兩位好友，和我一起從零建立這個計畫，也很感謝協會內的每個成員、每一位志工教師、合作學校，以及願意支持此計畫的您們。相信透過這些點滴匯聚而成的善意與溫暖，我們能夠將音樂推廣到台灣的每一個角落，讓孩子們一同享受學習的樂趣及音樂的美好！

Music, in our ever-changing society, reveals the most genuine aspects of humanity and brings hope to people in times of hardship.
I grew up in Taichung City and began my musical journey at the age of six with the piano. At nine, I discovered the double bass. Despite it being much taller than I was, I was determined to learn this unique instrument. Now, more than a decade later, I’m still playing it. The journey has been challenging, but the experiences and joy I've gained from music are priceless and everlasting.
I graduated from Taichung Second Senior High School. Growing up in a music talent program, I spent countless hours in practice rooms perfecting my skills, unknowingly losing my connection with the world outside. In college, I had the opportunity to perform in hospitals, nursing homes, and orphanages. When I played music, nursing home residents sang along, patients in treatment gradually relaxed, and children listened attentively. The power of music was undeniable — it dissolved barriers between people and comforted their pain and anxieties. This inspired me to step out of the practice room and use my abilities to bring about positive change in society.
Not everyone has the same resources and supportive family that I had. After visiting some rural elementary schools, I saw many children eager to learn music but forced to give up due to a lack of resources. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn music and wish for every child to have the same chance to experience its beauty. After seeing this, I determined to found the Taiwan Music Outreach Association, with the aim of providing more learning resources for children while giving back to the land that nurtured me.
Lastly, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Li Fang and Pei Chien, my two friends, for building this project with me from the ground up. I also want to thank every member of the association, every volunteer teacher, partner school, and all of you who are willing to support this initiative. Together, through these collective acts of kindness and warmth, I believe we can spread music to every corner of Taiwan, allowing children to experience the joy of learning and the beauty of music!
Sincerely,
Yu Yang
