Description of Our Community: Changhua County, the place we live, has a history of 280 years. It is a beautiful plain, adjoined by hills and streams. With the intersecting of the mountain-line railway and the coast-line railway, Changhua County is an important traffic area. Changhua also owns magnificent scenes, which draws many tourists to enjoy its nature beauty.

Our research target-- "Changhua String Ensemble Development League" furthers great music to spread out on the land. We hope our introduction can motivate more children who love music, and promote the corporation of communities. To let more children learn violin; to realize the dream -- "wonderful melody everywhere" and "Lin Jao-Lian, Ma Yo-Yo every home".

Project Description: Hemei Detective is introducing "Changhua String Ensemble Development League"(CSEDL). Its main idea is to popularize music and music education. The successfully combined the powers of school and community, to let thousands of children go on concert stages, into music world.

Although people know the saying "Kids who learns music don't go bad", but traditionally music learning costs too high—on expensive instruments, tuition, etc. Few families could afford kids' music learning. Dr. Yang Dao-Bing's purpose of founding CSEDL is to break that obstacle. Preparing from 2004 February, starting group practice in 2004 September, 1 year after, the 1st thousand people ensemble was held in 2005 July. The spectacular view was very touching. They really broke the obstacle. They had made more and more children enter the palace of music!

Let's see how they made the dream come true! We hope our project will motive more people to learn music by this simple way. We hope music can fill our world. We hope music can bring us peace, console our pain, and ease our sorrow. If everyone can perform music with his hands, if people talk with music, the gaps and quarrels must be dissolved. We dream that future world will be full of music beauty.
