1. The arts teach children to make good judgments about qualitative relationships. Unlike much of the curriculum in which correct answers and rules prevail, in the arts, it is judgment rather than rules that prevail. 2. The arts teach children that problems can have more than one solution and that questions can have more than one answer. 3. The arts celebrate multiple perspectives. One of their large lessons is that there are many ways to see and interpret the world. 4. The arts teach children that in complex forms of problem solving purposes are seldom xed, but change with circumstance and opportunity. Learning in the arts requires the ability and a willingness to surrender to the unanticipated possibilities of the work as it unfolds. 5. The arts make vivid the fact that neither words in their literal form nor numbers exhaust what we can know. The limits of our language do not dene the limits of our cognition. 6. The arts teach students that small differences can have large effects. The arts trafc in subtleties. 7. The arts teach students to think through and within a material. All art forms employ some means through which images become real. 8. The arts help children learn to say what cannot be said. When children are invited to disclose what a work of art helps them feel, they must reach into their poetic capacities to nd the words that will do the job. 9. The arts enable us to have experience we can have from no other source and through such experience to discover the range and variety of what we are capable of feeling. 10. The arts position in the school curriculum symbolizes to the young what adults believe is important.

This organization has seen thousands of students come through the program and each of them take into their lives experiences only gained by participation in this program. 13
On Music Education
Its important not to dismiss your talents. Even though some people may tell you otherwise, there is a place for creative people in this world and plenty of ways to make money and pay your bills through your artistic abilities. Emily J. Davis Music gives us a language that cuts across the disciplines, helps us to see connections and brings a more coherent meaning to our world. Ernest Boyer, President, Carnegie Foundation If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.... I get most joy in life out of music. Albert Einstein I would teach children music, physics and philosophy: but most importantly music and all the arts are the keys to learning. Plato Our schools tend to rene intellects but neglect to discipline emotions. For anyone to grow up complete, music is imperative. Paul Harvey, Broadcaster/Commentator There are benets to having a society where more people are engaged with the arts, so even if music instruction doesnt make you a better mathematician or a better athlete, even if it only gives you the enjoyment of music, I think that is a good end in and of itself. McGill University musician-neuroscientist Dan Levitin
