“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.” “A grounding in
the arts will help our children to see; to bring a uniquely human
perspective to science and technology. In short, it will help them as
they grow smarter to also grow wiser.” "A study of 237 second-grade children involved with both piano keyboard training and innovative math software scored 27% higher on proportional math and fractions tests than students only using the math software." - Amy Graziano, Matthew Peterson, and Gordon Shaw, Neurological Research 21, March 1999
"A study of 7,500 university students revealed that music majors scored the highest reading scores among all majors including English, biology, chemistry and math." - The Case for Music in the Schools, Phi Delta Kappa, 1994
"88% of Americans believe participation in music helps teach children discipline." - Gallup Poll, "American Attitudes Toward Music," 2003
"How is it that music can, without words, evoke our laughter, our tears, our highest aspiration?" - Jane Swan (b. 1943)
