                            Why Do We Teach Music?

            Not because we expect you to major in music.
            Not only because we expect you to play or sing all your life.
            Not only so you can relax.
            Not just so you can have fun.

            But…
            so you will be more human.
            so you will recognize beauty.
            so you will be sensitive.
            so you will be closer to an infinite beyond this world.
            so you will have something to cling to.
            so you will have more compassion,
            more gentleness, more good–in short, more life.
