"For those who have the necessary love and commitment to go for it anyway, these realities will not spoil their enthusiasm." In actuality, Rosenfeld says that there are probably more professional music oppor- tunities today than exist in other artistic areas. Rosenfeld is among the newer breed of academically- trained musicians. He sees this phenomenom as "a good thing because it lends credibility to the music pro- fession." Whereas he acknowledges that there are young people who through their own, or through parental, pressure force themselves to focus on- ly on achievement and that some of these are very suc- cessful, for the most part no one should sacrifice the rewards which come from the enjoyment of developing "a sense of life." Rosenfeld said he believes youngsters in this country to- day suffer from being a part of a "satisfaction-oriented culture," reinforced by televi- sion and videos." "A little gymnastics, a little soccer, a little ballet — not too much of one thing, move around, keep going — it's good that the child may be ex- posed to a lot, but it's also part of the escapist mentali- ty of the quick fix." He says that on one extreme are the parents who place too much pressure on their youngsters and on the other are those to give their children the message that whatever they do is OK and however they do it is OK. He recalls students wanting to play Fame two weeks after their first lesson. The single most difficult problem he has faced in his 15 years of teaching is "walking the tight rope" of allowing the child to play what gives him or her pleasure and, at the same time, making sure the student gets a solid fun- damental, classical music education. He recommends that children practice half-an- hour a day at least six days a week. Rosenfeld said he feels that the Suzuki Method is "remarkable" for developing a child's ear, teaching techni- que, and producing rapid results. In addition, the method emphasizes the im- portance of the group, incor- porates parental involvement, and provides a foundation for music-making as a family ex- perience. Occasionally, however, "the refinement of the musicianship may suffer unless it's cultivated by a real master-teacher." Beethoven and Schumann are two favorite Rosenfeld composers. After receiving his Ph.D. degree, Rosenfeld continued private professional work, teaching and playing in a music ensemble, the Poulenc Chamber Players, which was largely funded by New York state and county grants. He credits the group with doing "some real ground-breaking" programs, including lecture- demonstrations in schools, concerts for senior citizens, series for cultural centers and special holiday performances. In addition, Rosenfeld sup- plemented his income by playing the organ in a church and arranged music an ac- companied the choir for the High Holidays at Temple Beth Shalom in Smithtown, N.Y., from 1984 1986. A new resident of the Detroit metropolitan area, Rosenfeld has expressed his desire to become involved in the local Jewish community. "I would enjoy doing pro- grams of 'popular' classical music, along with works that should be better known. Perhaps I'll call it "Best of the Least Known Works? " He would also like to bring the lecture-demonstration format to the Detroit area. The chairman of the piano department, Rosenfeld's main responsibilities at the in- stitute are administrative, along with some teaching. Rosenfeld is pleased that the institute has already ar- ranged for him to perform in the community. He has played concerts at Oakland University and for the board of trustees of the institute. Every musician has his favorite composers. Rosenfeld chooses two, Beethoven, whose Emperor Concerto he selected for his audition at the institute, and Schumann, with whose music he also feels personally very close. "Schumann's Scenes from Childhood turned me on, - because I could really relate to perfect happiness. His im- ages, his sensitivity, his color, his creativity are astounding to me. Of all composers, I feel he may have been the greatest?' Rosenfeld's parents had definite ideas about careers for their son. "I was good at golf in high school, and my father wanted me to be a pro- fessional golfer, but my mother wanted me to be a musician. I felt I was better at music, but I still love golf and I hope to play a couple of times a week this spring and summer?' "A bachelor all these years, I've also gotten to enjoy cook- ing. I do a real good manicot- ti." One thing his Royal Oak apartment lacks is a piano, Rosenfeld admits. Two years out of his degree program, the musician has come to terms with "the real world. It's not so much due to a lack of space," he acknowledges, "but more a lack of finances." -E1 Lively 'Grimm" At The Center The Maple/Drake Jewish Community Center's Sundae Sunday Childrens Theatre will present the live stage production of "The Not So Grimm Brothers and Their Sister" 2 p.m. Jan. 17.
