I don't think people & the public in general understand how crucial music is to understanding & learning various ideas & concepts & how important it is to being a balanced individual contributing to society.

it my job to teach literacy as well as music? Is this what I was trained
to do?" My answers are: "You have been trained to teach children. Your
specialty is music. You use that specialty and your talent to teach whatever
(along with music) fundamental knowledge that children must possess in
order to function successfully in school and in life. You are first and
foremost a teacher, one who holds the magic of music in your hands, head,
and heart. This magic can move children in so many varied ways that will
energize them to learn almost anything."

what you know about this power, reserve it exclusively for the learning
of music, or are you prepared to unleash it on any subject that the children
must learn? Can you see yourself performing a ‘dual' rather than a' duel'
role with the classroom teacher?</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A73012EC-B18D-4B07-9A58-AFAA50BE0951/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
