OBJECTIVE: TO HELP CHILDREN GAIN AN APPRECIATION OF FINE MUSIC AND LEARN TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES MUSICALLY
​Music is the universal language. It has been referred to as the 'quickening art' as it stirs our emotions and carries messages to a place deep within our hearts that words alone cannot reach. Throughout history, music has been used as a great healer. It's only in our modern day that it has become purely a means of entertainment. I hope you enjoy exploring the power music can have in your home and in your life as you read, watch, and listen to this month's selections.​
"Harmony has the power to draw Heaven downwards to the earth. It inspires men to love the good, and to do their duty. If one should desire to know whether a kingdom is well governed, if its morals are good or bad, the quality of its music shall furnish forth the answers."
--Confucius
