“My overarching goal in life has been to do as much as I can to improve the overall human condition during my brief existence.”

“If you would know if a people are well governed, and if its laws are good or bad, examine the music it practices.”

“Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul.”

“In the symphony of AI, each line of code is a note, playing in harmony to compose the future of music education.”

“Music is life itself.”
-Louis Armstrong

“Playing music produces a transcendent presence that can only be experienced through a deep mind, body, and spirit connection – which makes learning an instrument an ideal catalyst for growth of individuals and communities.”

“Music starts in the womb with the beat of a heart and continues to enrich us throughout our lives. Teaching children to nurture that connection is my passion. Continuing to do this through Practicing Musician brings me an abundance of joy.”

“Like a journey, music has the ability to take us places without moving an inch. It can transport us across time, cultures, emotions, and experiences – making it one of the most potent tools for understanding humanity.”

“The universal truths present in music that transcend culture and language are undeniable, immediate, and supremely powerful.”
