As an educator, a former member of the San Diego board of Education, and a pianist, I have been a long-time advocate of music education in our nation's schools. Music is not an “extra” in the education of our children. Music is an essential part in the development of well-rounded, caring individuals. Music transcends cultural barriers, broadens horizons, and motivates our children to rise to their full potential. Music is an inspiration for the heart, the mind, and the soul.
