GITTE HAGSTEDT DICKSON - in english Gitte Hagstedt Dickson Music is magical! What music can accomplish, I have experienced many times. It has been with me all the time as a common thread in my life, in joy as in sorrow.  I was born in Gothenburg in July 1948 and have been faithful to Gothenburg / Mölndal except for short periods abroad, i. a. studies at the University of Vienna and French interpreter in Tunisia. In 1985, I moved into a charming five in a governor's house at the top of old Masthugget, Gothenburg, with the lovely Slottsskogen right next door. The sea a quarter of a bus ride from here. Now I had "found home"! I have 4 children born between 1973 and 1986 and 6 grandchildren born between 1995 and 2006. I myself have taught my children and grandchildren to play various instruments. They are involved in my music, Conserts and so on. Our family business: TONARIA. Our history is that we are faced with various problems: DM (Dystrofia Myotonika), OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), Grand Mal Epilepsi, ADHD, Dyslexi, Gluten intolerance, my eye problems VMT. But we stick together and make the best of the situation. And I'm stubborn. I never give up. I have composed a lot over the years, developed my own music pedagogyand written my own playbooks. HAGSTEDT DICKSONS music school I have had since 1972, and the Choir-Orchestra since 1990 and I have a lot of Charity Concerts behind me.

My beloved cat Grålle, from the 60s,  who came back (?) as my as well beloved cat Oscar, 1993 - 2011 Some words on the way Wake up to life as cats do Friendship heals Music heals Laugh hels Even crying heals the soul Nature gives power Do not rush Do let time decide Follow the changes of the four seasons Why else do we have them? Wait and see Try to crack your Life Code, find the key to your inner self, find Your Thing in Life Everyone has something Learn to understand how everything is connected, there is ameaning behind everything Everything happens for a reason  And do not forget Live well for both body and soul towards everything and all of us Take care of yourself and love yourself as much as you love others Open your eyes and "see" each other Reward comes, more or less, sooner or later "Find balance between human and animals. Be in harmony with nature." THOUGHTS ON A BETTER WORLD Residential areas for everyone, including the elderly there. Everything is in the local area, preschools, schools, shops, change of clothes shops, local farming, chickens... a lot of nature. Supermarkets are no longer needed. Common rooms in the neighborhood, where you have common things; sewing machine, tools... Free public transport, car poles. EVERYONE IS FOR EVERYONE. EVERYONE SUPPORTS EACH OTHER. A SCHOOL FOR EVERYONE. More staff, trained and resource staff of different ages. But everyone is helped, the children are involved in cooking, cleaning = a topic on the schedule. + Wellness, Environmental care, Home economics with dietetics, Brain function at different ages. Swimming knowledge, Lifesaving, Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other First Aid knowledge. Solidarity, Responsibility & Cooperation, Creativity, Physical Activity daily, Leisure activitities. LEARNING FOR LIFE. Everyone gets to work at the pace they can. Let everyone develop what they are good at and interested in.
