A musician with a plan for a better Bermuda is asking the community to join him in his quest to bring music to the young masses.

John Holdipp III this week donated a saxophone to Victor Scott Primary School ? the successor to the Central School from which he graduated ? and he is hoping others will follow his lead and donate instruments as well.

Mr. Holdipp said he is tired of watching the community spiral into decline and wants to promote positive attitudes in the younger generations through music.

?We live in a society where we often hear political, social and business leaders use the clich?, ?It takes a village to raise a child?,? he said. ?Wherever positive initiatives are implemented during the early growing process of a human, a high percentage of the participants usually remain focused for life,? he said.

Bermuda was privileged to enjoy the musical Drumline in performance at the Sports Centre last weekend as well as the holiday parade, he said. Both are examples of the positive spin-offs of music.

The enthusiasm generated from these events must not be lost, he said.

?This leads (me) to the vision that we as Bermudians must come on board to function as the village that does all we can to revive the positive attributes within our offspring,? Mr. Holdipp said.

He suggested that all graduates of public primary schools purchase musical instruments for their alma maters or assist the schools in forming bands.

Contributing now may also save a soul from the gutter, he argued.

Mr. Holdipp is inviting members of the Bermuda Musicians Union, as well as others who can assist in musical training, to join him bringing his musical vision to reality.
