Jemima Adeyinka descubri\u00f3 Merit cuando era ni\u00f1a. Ya adulta, regres\u00f3 con entusiasmo, esta vez para abrir las puertas a la siguiente generaci\u00f3n.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Jemima Adeyinka <\/span>era un ni\u00f1o de siete a\u00f1os entusiasta y ansioso.<\/span> cuando la Escuela de M\u00fasica Merit apareci\u00f3 en Beas<\/span>el<\/span>y primaria<\/span>. <\/span>Eso es<\/span> cuando un profesor amable <\/span>le entreg\u00f3 un viol\u00edn<\/span> y provoc\u00f3 <\/span>un amor de toda la vida por <\/span>m\u00fasica. <\/span>Antes de ese momento, v<\/span>El iol\u00edn y la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica me eran desconocidos.<\/span> le<\/span>. <\/span>Ella sab\u00eda que n<\/span>Nadie en su familia tocaba un instrumento de cuerda. <\/span>Para ella, m<\/span>La m\u00fasica se desarroll\u00f3 principalmente en c<\/span>iglesia<\/span> con <\/span>Bater\u00eda, piano y voces. Hermoso, s\u00ed. <\/span>Pero<\/span> \u00bfUn viol\u00edn? \u00bfO una orquesta? Esas cosas me parec\u00edan cosas que suced\u00edan en otras partes de la ciudad, para otros ni\u00f1os. \u201cCrec\u00ed en una<\/span>ei<\/span>barrio donde la m\u00fasica orquestal no era algo que nadie hiciera realmente,<\/span>\u201d\u2014dice ella<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A\u00fan recuerda la sensaci\u00f3n del instrumento en sus manos la primera vez que lo sostuvo. Llena de asombro, explor\u00f3 los sonidos que pod\u00eda producir. Al comenzar a estudiarlo, algo cambi\u00f3. Este instrumento, que antes le resultaba tan desconocido, se convirti\u00f3 en algo querido y en parte de su identidad.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

El m\u00e9rito inspir\u00f3 a Jemima y le ense\u00f1\u00f3 <\/span>Ella es mucho m\u00e1s que m\u00fasica.<\/span>, <\/span>descubrir<\/span>En g<\/span> nuevas oportunidades<\/span> y<\/span> arena.<\/span> \u201cMe consideraba a m\u00ed mismo <\/span>Al final, me convert\u00ed en una violista de nivel medio. Pero tuve que perfeccionar esa habilidad para llegar hasta ah\u00ed. <\/span>Pude observar a los ni\u00f1os que eran realmente muy fuertes, y pude ver exactamente lo que el trabajo duro da.<\/span>educar<\/span> como.<\/span> Ser <\/span>primero<\/span> Presidenta. Jefa de secci\u00f3n. Concertino. Se pod\u00eda ver el trabajo\u201d, comparte Jemima.<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Estas nuevas oportunidades requer\u00edan un nivel de concentraci\u00f3n y determinaci\u00f3n que no hab\u00eda experimentado antes. Y eso es lo que lleva consigo, no solo el truco de identificar un acorde de o\u00eddo (aunque ella\u00a0<\/span>poder<\/span><\/i>, y ella\u00a0<\/span>voluntad<\/span><\/i>), pero algo m\u00e1s importante: la comprensi\u00f3n de que la habilidad se construye, no se otorga. El escenario no es magia, sino el resultado de horas de pr\u00e1ctica hechas visibles para el mundo.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Merit es mucho m\u00e1s que trabajo duro y m\u00fasica. Es tambi\u00e9n una fuerza magn\u00e9tica, alegre y musical que atrae a j\u00f3venes de toda la regi\u00f3n y hace inevitables conexiones inesperadas. Como muchos exalumnos, Jemima conoci\u00f3 a su mejor amiga en Merit, a pesar de vivir en zonas completamente diferentes del \u00e1rea metropolitana de Chicago. Jemima vive en South Shore. Su mejor amiga, Nicole, creci\u00f3 en los suburbios. Viv\u00edan a una hora de distancia, en c\u00f3digos postales distantes, asistieron a diferentes escuelas secundarias y, finalmente, fueron a universidades diferentes (Jemima a la Universidad de Chicago, Nicole a la Universidad de Illinois en Champaign-Urbana). En la t\u00edpica historia de Chicago, sus caminos simplemente no se habr\u00edan cruzado, pero Merit las puso en la misma clase de teor\u00eda musical y ese fue el comienzo de una amistad para toda la vida.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

Avancemos hasta hoy. \u201cEsta ma\u00f1ana, literalmente llam\u00e9 a Nicole\u201d, dice Jemima riendo. \u201cLe dije: \u00bfTe das cuenta de que han pasado diez a\u00f1os desde que nos conocimos en esa clase de teor\u00eda?!\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Ahora, Jemima est\u00e1 devolviendo el favor como miembro del personal de Merit. Como enlace del programa para la nueva sucursal de Merit en South Shore, se involucra con la comunidad en su propio barrio. La nueva sucursal est\u00e1 a solo cinco minutos de la casa donde creci\u00f3 y a dos minutos de su antigua escuela secundaria. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 regres\u00f3? Sonr\u00ede y dice: \u201cAlguien en Merit, all\u00e1 por 2005, sugiri\u00f3 que deber\u00eda haber un programa de viol\u00edn en la escuela primaria Beasley, y si no lo hubieran hecho, nunca habr\u00eda aprendido a tocar ni habr\u00eda conocido a mi mejor amiga. Considero que mi papel es hacer posible que otros ni\u00f1os tambi\u00e9n lo aprendan\u201d.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Mientras trabaja para desarrollar el programa, Jemima les dice a los nuevos padres de Merit lo mismo que alguien le dijo a los suyos: aprender a tocar un instrumento no se trata solo de convertirse en m\u00fasico profesional. Ella aplica lo que aprendi\u00f3 en Merit a diario: escuchar, colaborar y comprender que la clave del \u00e9xito reside en la participaci\u00f3n y el compromiso. \u201cUna vida en la que se puede comprender, apreciar y disfrutar de la m\u00fasica, como la que Merit fomenta, es mucho m\u00e1s enriquecedora\u201d, afirma. \u201cLo creo de verdad\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00bfSu sue\u00f1o para la nueva y creciente sucursal de South Shore? Un programa lo suficientemente s\u00f3lido como para enviar a los j\u00f3venes al campus de Merit en West Loop con una mayor oferta de programas, para que puedan sentarse en una clase de teor\u00eda junto a alguien que de otra manera nunca habr\u00edan conocido y encontrar a su propia Nicole. Eso es una de las cosas que m\u00e1s desea para sus estudiantes: no solo la m\u00fasica, sino tambi\u00e9n las conexiones y amistades que la simple distancia geogr\u00e1fica habr\u00eda hecho imposibles. \u00bfSu sue\u00f1o definitivo para el futuro de la nueva sucursal de South Shore? "\u00a1Una orquesta juvenil completa!"\u201c<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
