It is vital to pause, and verify information before sharing stories and images from social media. It is amazing how much disinformation is out there, even with seemingly harmless/ feel-good stories.

I recall a Facebook post about classical violinist Itzhak Perlman donating $12.9m from his most recent tour to charity. I remember thinking “what classical musician makes $12.9 million on a tour?!”, and quickly did an internet search, where I could find no news stories backing this up.

I did find that he in fact had donated a $1 million Genesis Prize to charity in 2016—incredibly generous and newsworthy in and of itself. So please— pause, think and corroborate information before sharing.

The feeling of achievement and wonder that comes from learning a new piece on an instrument.
