The school had opened on October 5th, 2008, and destroyed during the Israeli bombardment in January 2009. For further information on the Gaza Music School, visit (www.qattanfoundation.org/en)"...

A Music School Silenced in Gaza, By Nadia Hijab(8 January 2009 by Agence Global.)

"...There was a music school in Gaza. It was just six months old....The school worked out of rented premises in the Palestinian Red Crescent Society....The compound was targeted in the first wave of Israeli bombardments...By some miracle, the children had not yet arrived for their lessons and so were spared the fate of those in other schools in the path of Israeli bombs...And what about Hamas' supposed social rigidity? Some websites did take a strong line against musical education, complaining that Hamas was allowing music to be taught under its rule instead of the Sharia....(Palestinians) have had 60 years to learn how to do so, and show no signs of giving up their quest for their rights -- not even the right to learn how to play a musical instrument."...
