Another summer is over....another exciting musical season is beginning! To set the tone, here are some famous-folk quotes:
WHY MUSIC?

“We need to ensure that our children have both knowledge and imagination. I know I want that for my girls. They deserve to have access to a good education and access to ideas and images that will spark their creativity.” -First Lady Michelle Obama
“Perhaps we’ve all misunderstood the reason we learn music, and all the arts in the first place.... for hundreds of years, it has been known that teaching the arts, along with history and math and biology, helps to create the well-rounded mind that western civilization and America have been grounded on.” -actor Richard Dreyfuss
“If children are not introduced to music at an early age, I believe something fu
ndamental is actually being taken from them.” -singer Luciano Pavarotti
“Music is an essential part of everything we do. Like puppetry, music has an abstract quality which speaks to a worldwide audience in a wonderful way that nourishes the soul.” -puppeteer Jim Henson
“To sing well and to dance well is to be well-educated.”-philosopher Plato
