Music Keeps Us Human in the Age of Technology

MENC’s Petition for Equal Access to Music Education, 2009

Item Text

“As a musician and teacher I have direct experience of how music can enliven our lives, develop the capacity for creativity and the possibility of self-expression and sharing our soul forces. Music keeps us human in an age of increasing technology and detachment from each other. An arts community allows us to appreciate one another. Every human should have the opportunity to listen to and express oneself through music.”

- Anonymous, New Jersey
