We should constantly be seeking ways to support and reinforce both professional and amateur music-making in our respective communities. All people should be allowed the opportunity to develop musically. I believe that everyone has the potential to be musically astute and capable. Learning music is like learning any communicative skill. No one should be left out.
Music changes lives in real and tangible ways.
By studying music and engaging myself in a variety of musical experiences I have opened a door to greater understanding of myself and others. Music can unify hearts and minds unlike any other art form. It can lead to other forms of self-discovery and fulfillment.
