THAT IS WHY WE TEACH MUSIC

Not because we expect you to major in music

Not because we expect you to play music all your life

Not so you can relax

Not so you can have fun

Not so you can trot around the football field in a uniform

BUT

So you will be human

So you will recognize beauty

So you will be sensitive

So you will be closer to an infinite beyond this world

So that you'll have something to cling to

So that you will have more love, more compassion, more gentleness

In short, more life.

Of what value will it be to make a prosperous living unless you know how to live?

THAT IS WHY I TEACH MUSIC!
