Item Text
“Music is as basic as any subject in school. It teaches students to process the world through their ears. It engages the learner in many different actions: look, listen, move, react, adjust, teamwork, following instructions, problem solving and working for the common good are but a few of the many things that students do just to get to the place where they can engage in creative activities that expand the mind and enrich the soul.”
