...music is unlike most other skills in that it can be enjoyed for a lifetime.
...the top three factors for becoming a strong instrumental musician are great educators supportive parents/guardians and the intrinsic desire of the student to learn.
...companies who prioritize making a buck over helping children succeed in music dont deserve to succeed themselves.
