Twenty stones, after Bergson

This piece is the reflection on the asian education. In asian culture, most of the parents would be indifferent or
impatient when their children are creative (curious to something new for them) because they want their children
to be 'normal'. However, this hinders the growth of the children and limits their imagination.
There are 3 sections ,'Discovering', 'Scold' and 'Parent-child "tutti"', the first two sections reflect the reality and
the last one is my expectation of the education ---- parents show appreciation to children's creativity and explore
something unknown with their children.
In 'Discovering', there are Percussion 1 & 2 as children to discover the sound effects of daily objects at home.
Percussion 3 in 'Scold' as a parent to stop their behavior. Finally, in 'Parent-child "tutti"', the parent is amazed by
their creativity, they explore the sounds effects and combinations and have a happy jamming!
