My students are creative, talented, eager to learn, collaborative workers. They look forward to new ideas, and they sing and dance every moment a jam comes through the speakers. Creativity is the highest form of understanding. They want to know how to create music like the masters of our time. The skills used in playing a musical instrument have been proven hundreds of times to increase test scores, literacy, math skills and so on. It's time our school brings back music through instrument study!
