The
study of music is one of the most valuable and worthwhile activities a person can
undertake. No other area of study develops the whole person like music. At the 1996 Grammy
Awards, accomplished actor, Richard Dreyfuss, commented on the need for music in a
well-balanced life. "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.
America’s greatest achievements in science, in business, in popular culture, would
simply not be attainable without an education that encourages achievement in all
fields".
