“Music is a basic need of human survival. Music is one of the ways we make sense of our lives, one of the ways in which we express feelings when we have no words, a way for us to understand things with our hearts when we can’t with our minds.” – The Power of Music by Dr. Karl Paulnack, Director of the Music Division of Boston Conservatory.
