Item Text
“Music allows us to experience mentally and physically the aspects of life that are beyond the range of procedure or logic based cognitive skills. Music allows us to bridge the gap from intellectual to emotional. It doesn't require expensive instruments - the voice is one of the most versatile instruments. It does require the time and dedication of our leaders and schools.”
- Floyd S., Virginia
