the importance of music education

Posted on | November 23, 2012 | No Comments

Once, while a young teen, I spotted a house on fire while dad was driving me home from my bassoon lesson. I alerted the residents, who were unaware that their roof had caught fire. It was a relatively modest fire, and firefighters were able to quickly extinguish it without major damage to the house or injury to those inside.

I consider this a good example of the importance of music education.
